Founded in 1972 by Stephen Marks, French Connection set out to create well-designed, fashionable clothing that appealed to a broad market. French Connection is now one of the strongest brands on the British high street and operates in over 38 countries. Driven by innovation and change, the brand’s strength lies in balancing new and exciting ideas with the basic promise of quality and affordability, established when the company was founded. Bold, witty and intelligent, French Connection has an irreverent and distinct brand personality which still makes it stand out today. From the clothes to the stores, the whole business is born of a desire to be original, distinctive and accessible. In constant pursuit of new ideas and with design at the helm, the vision for the future of French Connection continues to grow.
