Last week, French Connection’s SoHo New York flagship store was packed to the gills with stylish shoppers who mingled with high-profile customers such as Ashley Tisdale, as they shopped til they dropped and supped champagne cocktails.

Our co-host of the night Neon Hitch brought the house down with her electric performance and took to the stage wearing our Jackson Leather Biker Jacket and Bailey Glitter Sandals. The evening was an unprecedented success and the perfect way to kick off NY Fashion Week.

Check the blog tomorrow to find out what Ashley Tisdale purchased on the night!

American actress Olivia Munn payed a visit to our SoHo store in New York this weekend and left a very happy customer, wearing our Winter Sun Wool Coat. We took a peek inside her shopping bags and quizzed her to find out what she’ll be wearing when she’s not on location…
1. Dare To Dream Dress - “I really love this dress, it’s going to be perfect for daytime interviews.”
2. Pretty Poodle Coat - “This coat is so versatile…and perfect for filming” - Olivia told us she would be wearing the sale item to the SNL after party that night.
3. Coral Knits Raglan Jumper - Olivia was “really into this cosy sweater” and wore it for dinner at the Bowery Hotel.
4. Tim Slash Tee - “I’m really into stripes and polka dots…I love this striped tee.”
Olivia also snapped up our Meadow Dress, City Crepe Dress and Holiday Ribbon Knits Dress.

My French Connection: Jill Borkan

‘Tis the season for holiday parties, and lots of them! French Connection’s U.S. PR and Marketing Director, Jill Borkan, picks her must-haves for every occasion.

Galaxy Jersey Sequin Dress

The perfect amount of sparkle for the office party.  This silhouette is universally flattering and shows the right amount of skin for even the most conservative environments, so not to fret when you receive the invite to your man’s law firm gathering. For a more trendy event, pair it with a cropped leather blazer and ankle booties.

Samantha Dress

Be the hostess with the mostess.  There’s a reason this dress is a best-seller…it’s hard to not be the life the party when rocking it.  In fact, owning this dress is reason alone to throw a fabulous holiday fete.  Complete the sexy look with sky high heels and a great pair of earrings.

Oyster Sequins Dress

A little bling never hurt anybody.  With the right trimmings, this dress has you covered for your array of seasonal festivities, and will make sure that you stand out.  Throw on a structured blazer and ballet flats for your holiday dinner with the in-laws, and a faux fur jacket and thick black tights for your friend’s rooftop cocktail soiree.

Silky Sacha Jumpsuit

Be the envy of all of your fashionista friends at your annual holiday get-together.  It’s no wonder that jumpsuits are having a moment right now – they are the ultimate in effortless chic.  Add an armful of bangles and an embellished clutch to finish off the look.
