Essentially, next season is all about being a woman. Think: French Connection’s This Is the Woman ad campaign. It’s silly (yet undeniably sexy) Franglais slogan ‘Pity the ex-lover who sees the woman today’ should be running through our heads as we shop for our winter wardrobes.
Leave your life behind for the day and step into the shoes of The Woman, as seen in our Autumn/Winter 2010 campaign.
One lucky winner will be treated to this season’s stand-out sequinned Wisteria Lane Dress in black (above), a beautifully embellished frock worthy of admiration. To complete the look, they will also receive a full set of bath and body products courtesy of French Connection’s new Signature range, featuring body wash, body polish, body butter, body spray and a 50ml eau de toilette.

To become The Woman, entrants must create a look for day or night from French Connection’s new Autumn/Winter 2010 collection on Shopstyle.co.uk using their stylebook tool. Simply log in or open an account and get creative! Please click for full instructions and terms & conditions of entry.
