Founded in 1972 by Stephen Marks, French Connection set out to create well-designed
fashionable clothing that appealed to a broad market.
French Connection now offers a fashion-forward clothing range with a quirky spin
on design, priding itself on quality and affordable prices.
Having established a strong core clothing business, through unique design and a
true sense of style the company has, over recent years expanded its portfolio into
exciting new areas including men’s and women’s toiletries, sunglasses and opticals,
watches and shoes. Driven by innovation and change, the brands strength lies in
balancing new and exciting ideas with the basic promise of quality and affordability,
established when the company was founded. Throughout this expansion and diversification
the principles have remained the same; design-led products presented in a unique
and innovative way.
