French Connection

French Connection shops have been springing up all over the country for the past few years. Within the UK French Connection are known as FCUK (French Connection United Kingdom) and throughout the rest of Europe as French Connection. Over the past four years the success of FCUK has been phenomenal probably owing to a major advertising campaign which has caused some controversy. Despite the fact that some people disagree with using FCUK as a slogan on t-shirts and in advertising, it has in many ways been one of the keys to their success raising the ...  Read the complete review

Yes, last year saw the launch of some of the raciest and most amusing slogans on T-shirts from the ever daring French Connection UK brand (FCUK). I handed over my £22 or so for the priveledge of telling the world that yes, there was "fabulous cleavage under my Kit", or basically as the most of us will realise for giving yet more advertising to the promotion hungry FCUK. I've been buying things from French connection for the past 5 years. There is no doubt that their clothing for both men and women is high fashion, yet without compromising on the quality. However, one day French Connection seemed to wise up to the idea that by shortening their ...  Read the complete review

"Phew" you say, "Finally a French Connection opinion that doesn't have a title exploiting that marketing campaign that clothed a nation of mid-20's men with biceps to burn (or so some of them thought) but which also made us chuckle, well for the first 5 mins anyway)." Yup you gotta give it to French Connection their FCUK items where THE thing to be seen in back in '99 *oozes designery cheeziness* and they even made us chuckle with catchphrases such as the inevitable "FCUK off". Nowadays the FCUK t-shirts (in their trendy and minimalist black and white) can still be seen and still look pretty cool, but French ...  Read the complete review

There. The entire edifice of a very ordinary clothing shop brought down to size by refusing to buy (I use the word advisedly) into a tittering, seaside-postcard mentality. Never being a fully-paid up member of the fashionista (though comments that I dress like it was the end of the world ten minutes ago are not helpful) I am somewhat irritated by the affectations of the clothing and footwear industry in their marketing efforts. Benetton step forward, with your crass human interest advertising with its facile moralising all for the sake of selling dyed jumpers at hyped-up prices. Nike, Reebok et al suggesting that Midas-like, mere possession of $100 trainers knocked out ...  Read the complete review

Yeh weak joke I know, but whatever. Everyone has a go at fcuk because its a bit of a funny name and everybody who looks at your clothes go 'Oh its spelt wrong!!!' Funny I don't think so. Anyway back to the subject the clothes are class, it caters for both sexes (appropriate classification). The clothes are trendy and comfortable and above all they look great. There are outlets all over the UK numerous ones in London, which are huge. One of the main problems however is that the clothes are very expensive, but if you go into a sale you'll get a good deal. I went up to London they had some t-shirts reduced to £15 and some shirts to £30 so not bad. ...  Read the complete review
