The colourful performance at the Carriageworks Theatre, in Millennium Square on Saturday (May 20), showcased the earliest clothing ranges from the iconic brand through the medium of dance. With graceful movements, music and accompanying film visuals, talented performers from Dance Studio Leeds took centre stage for the event.
The clothes came from the fashion archive of M&S, which is one of the best in the country. There were some recognisable throwbacks from the closet of yesteryear, including trends that have since enjoyed a healthy revival.
All proceeds from ticket sales went to Leeds Baby Bank, which supports families in and around the city with baby essentials to ensure that no child goes without. Here are some of the best pictures from the show -
