Leila & Damien de Blinkk | French Connection AW11 - The Magic Dress & The Jumper

Two more brilliant installments from Leila & Damien's latest campaign for French Connection.

The magic dress is truly magical. It does tricks involving glitter and even fireworks. Watch the film and see for yourself...

Rollnecks, V-Necks, Turtlenecks...there are many jumpers in the world and all of them are special in their own unique way. Jumpers are heroes and in this short film by French Connection for AW11, we celebrate their woolly gallantry.

I-D Online | interview of Leila and Damien de Blinkk

Read Lily Avnet Brilliant interview of Leila and Damien de Blinkk for I-D Online that gives you an insight into the mind of the directors of French Connection A/W 2011 campaign:

"We never think in ‘buy this’ terms. We think in terms of expressing an idea in a certain way that we hope is “en dehors des chemins battus” (out of the usual roads). If it works, a connection will happen, a trace will stay. "

"The moods came from this search for the essence specific to each article of clothing that would become a kind of subtle, living incarnation of it. We looked for the feminine and masculine qualities of each piece, for its relationship to our skin, to our emotions, expectations and projections of ourselves."
