• Sneak Peak: French Connection Spring 2014

Yesterday I attended the French Connection Spring 2014 preview at the FCUK showroom.  It was a great collection lots of pastels, sequence, prints.  Everything that the UK brand does best.  Here are some photo’s for you to enjoy.  The new Spring collections starts to trickle in, in January.

THE COLLECTION /
“The Spring Summer season sees a refreshing new color palette emerge in soft sorbet shades. Zest green and peach melba top the color leader board and are offered in easy silk separates as well as drop waist dresses and butterfly back tops. A sprinkling of sequins is also seen in this package with a subtle animal print adorning the stand-out dress of the season as well as tutti frutti embellishment transforming classic summer staples.”

Dresses see subtle lace detailing and adds a feminine twist to this modern collection. In addition, daisy lace chain mail adorns oatmeal cardigans and lightweight paneled sweaters, a perfect addition for a summers evening.

For eveningwear sizes and proportions have been played with. Cocoon rounded shoulder coats and modern block dresses are offered in midnight black and blush pink. Oversized beading creates geometric floral details on tailored shapes and sheer fabric that is ideal for experimenting with tonal layering. It’s all in the detail: soft folds and gathered skirts add volume to a tailored shape while sharp slits and neckline cut outs add interest to classic silhouettes.

Bright whites continue to dominate the summer collection with the injection of intricate micro pleats adding texture to the more sporty shapes. With contrasting forms from easy boyfriend jeans to minimalist tops and smooth lines alongside a snug cocoon jacket, the absence of colour only enhances the impact.

Retro Americana returns with a nod to the laid back Hawaiian surf trend. Pastel checks bring a prim, preppy and more grown up aesthetic to the range which take a back seat to the more bold and striking palm tree printed matching suit, a key look for those more brave. Bare midriffs are also back with cropped neoprene tees offered with the catchy strap line “let’s go to paradise” for those who boast cheerleader abs.
