Marks and Spencers 125 year anniversary

I have been looking at the work from Marks and Spencers 125year Anniversary. The first piece of packaging I came across was the biscuit tin designed by Sanna Annukka. Sanna's eclectic style is based on her Finish Childhood and love of nature and folklore. Although this box was created for Christmas nothing really shouts at Christmas. I suppose the colours used do show the season.




The above image is the window display for M&S for their anniversary. It looks very much like a celebration and the colours used and the shapes look very modern but at the same time you get a feel that it is dated. This may be due to the banner shapes, as I find you don't usually see these any more.

The reason I am interested in this work is because Heals are celebrating their 200th year this year.
