Marks and Spencer issues 1950s lingerie to honour Diamond Jubilee

MARKS and Spencer has released a collection of 1950s-inspired lingerie to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The collection is inspired by vintage materials and designs, intended to emulate the glamour of the 1950s.

Designers for Marks and Spencer searched the company archives to take inspiration from original designs, where they came across the conical bra and “big knicker” shapes. The designs have been modified into more wearable items, in keeping with today’s consumers.

A spokesperson for the company said: “The collection consists of beautiful looks, from a dusky pink conical bra and retro teddy to a stunning regal purple bra and knicker set edged in a delicate vintage-style lace.’

Items in the collection range from £7 to £39.50 and are available in stores and online.
