Marcel Wanders Designs Spirited Holiday Goods for Marks & Spencer

Lacking the interim, orangey-brown holiday of Thanksgiving, the British make a mad, mid-autumnal dash for the red, green, and sparkly celebrations of December. This year, Marks & Spencer is getting seriously whimsical with a Christmas-themed kickoff of what will be an ongoing collaboration with Dutch designer Marcel Wanders. The freshly launched Marcel Wanders for M&S collection is a playful line of approximately 150 gift items that range from harlequin-patterned “jester” socks and chicken-and-egg cufflinks to bold wrapping paper and a teddy bear nightlight with an illuminating nose.
