French Connections Fall '08

I must admit to loving the clothes-simple, chic and well-made for a global clothing chain-yet the show did not seem to measure up. Last night at Ultra Supper Club, French Connections debuted their Fall 2008 Men's and Women's wear. There was no point-of-view on the runway, not even from a commercial angle. Nothing seemed to flow well and there was no climax. Most of the clothes we've seen before. The only drama of the night came from the liquored up, rowdy crowd. The clothes still have classic appeal but to stay relevant with their younger audience it's time to freshen up.
