Director of M&S Menswear Wes Taylor said:“Maro’s undeniable style and passion for clothing is evident, and with his shared values that we hold as a brand, he was an obvious choice to represent M&S– we are delighted that he has come on board to highlight our stylish new collections for autumn.”

Itoje added: “I’m delighted to be teaming up with M&S, a brand that I have grown-up with and loved wearing over the years, and that shares the same important values that I do. Style is a passion of mine, so to be asked to work with M&S to wear the new collections was an honour. There are so many great, stylish pieces from the new season that I can’t wait to wear again!”

Itoje is also a patron for the Black Curriculum, an organisation which aims to teach Black British history in schools and support teachers through training.

For Black History Month this October, M&S has selected Black Curriculum as its Sparks charity, which will see the retailer donate 2p every time a customer shops, double the usual 1p donation on every purchase.

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant. I'm proud to say that after almost six months of planning, many roadblocks, and countless pivots — all while maintaining our day-to-day restaurant operatio...
