About Autograph
Autograph is the premium clothing tier, launched in 2000 with collections from named designers. Running tiers under one retailer's roof is the same structure supermarkets use for food, applied to clothing. Marks & Spencer owns it, and the range has been used to test fabrics and cuts that later appear in the main line once the retailer knows they sell.
