HISTORY OF MARKS & SPENCER WHEN Michael Marks, an immigrant from the north of England, was able to obtain a stall in Leeds' Kirkgate Market in 1884, M&S was born. He used the catchphrase "Don't ask the price, it's a 'penny'" to build his career after arriving with little money and minimal command of English. His little booth selling basic home goods was rapidly booming because of this simple idea and his diligent work. Michael teamed up with Dewhirst wholesalers' cashier Tom Spencer to help his expanding firm. This collaboration gave rise to "Marks & Spencer" and its initial Penny Bazaar locations, which helped the company take shape as we know it today. More than 15,000 purchases were made on the first day of trading. 4 The dress has a 'flattering waist' Credit: Advertisement 4 It comes in sizes 6 to 24 Credit: 4 The frock is available online and in stores Credit: Getty Images - Getty

I did a huge Tesco gymwear haul – it's giving Lululemon for a fraction of the price & makes the dream airport outfit too
A FASHION fanatic has hailed a top supermarket for its gymwear dupes and even picked up the perfect airport outfit for summer. Abbie Blyth, from Glasgow, regularly shares her shopping and lifestyle tips on TikTok where she boasts 37,000 followers (@abbieblyth). 5 5 5 The 30-year-old is one of Scotland's biggest and most successful influencers, and even owns her own fashion label BLY. But she still likes to pick up a pretty bargain when it catches her eye. She previously praised Tesco's in-house fashion brand F&F for its amazing spring collection. She said: "And oh my god, who is the buyer for Tesco? Chef's kiss. You deserve a pay rise for starters. "A big a** pay rise because it's popping off." And in a recent video, Abbie showed off the new gymwear pieces she picked up from the supermarket. She bagged a pair of cream jogger shorts with black piping, and a quarter-zip sweatshirt to match. "I can see me travelling in this", she said. "The material guys, like really. Obviously I have a clothing brand, and one thing I pick up on is fabrics and they [Tesco] know their stuff. "Imagine this travelling, this would be the perfect outfit. I actually do love wearing shorts, like cotton shorts when I'm flying because I always get too hot. So, this would be like my ideal attire." 'It's giving spring' cry Tesco fans as new comfy & flattering co-ord hits rails She also picked up navy ribbed leggings and a matching zip up top which she hailed as a Lululemon dupe. She said: "I'm not just saying this but their gym sets are giving Lululemon vibes. "Like, the thickness and the quality in this gym set. Little matching blue leggings and they're kind of like ribbed effect. "But honestly, I've seen some Lululemon stuff and I would honestly say this is the same quality. And these leggings are £14 and then your top is £12.50. So, literally less than £30 you're going to get a full gym set. "You couldn't get that on most gym websites at all. "And honestly, the quality, you can actually see how thick it is. It's not see through, like at all, like literally not see through." 5 5 Other shoppers were just as impressed with Abbie's finds, as one gushed: "I need to get to Tesco! The quality looks so good." "Omg Tesco are winning at the moment", wrote a second. Meanwhile, a third added: "F&F is giving." Influencer Abbie returned to our TV screens last year as reality show The Agency: Unfiltered's second season aired on BBC Scotland. The new series once again followed Aquarius Creative, Scotland's largest influencer agency, its founders Kirsten Cameron and Amy Moore, and their clients. During the new series, Abbie revealed how she was scammed out of thousands of pounds. The blonde beauty tearfully admitted that she nearly lost her fashion label BLY after hackers wiped out her business bank account. Abbie said: 'BLY cost me around £20,000 just to get up and running. 'I had helped my mum and dad with buying a new home - so I was quite proud of the amount of savings I had managed to put away. 'And I thought when I launched BLY, I was quite settled and I would be fine. 'But when the scam happened, it was five days after me and my ex had just split up. 'It completely wiped out my savings as I had poured everything else into BLY. 'They took every penny from me, and it put me back in every aspect, in my personal life and my business.'
