French Connection has a created a series of short films to celebrate the power of clothes.

The magic dress is truly magical. It does tricks involving glitter and even fireworks.

The FrenchConnection.com season starts with a fresh, relaxed approach to dressing.

The palette starts in deep autumnal hues with shots of green, purple and rich yellows to highlight classic black and grey. Animal prints and textured knitwear are key, layered over fine jersey and relaxed flannel tailoring. Sheer blouses are worn with oversized sleeveless knits and suedette leggings. Skirts are knitted and longer in length or in a cute skater girl cut. Little Black Dresses are given a narrow figure hugging silhouette contrasted against oversized ‘Little House on the Prairie’ check shirts and boyfriend t’s. Classic tailoring is updated in flannel wool with a neat, sharp cut Women’s Clothing.

Military design influences are apparent in embroidery, epaulettes, outerwear and hues of red and camel with fluid cuts creating a deliberately feminine feel. Dresses are made from wool in a longer calf length cut with ankle length cardigans and knitted skirts following the extended, calf grazing hemline. 60’s baby doll dresses and sculptural waved hem blazers in grey and black are key.
