Leila & Damien de Blinkk | French Connection AW11 Videos

French Connection have released the first of Leila & Damien's adverts for this autumns collection.
The two shorts place 'the blouse' and 'the lucky shirt' as their subject - making the clothes as the subject.

Production by OneSix7 Productions
Advertising Agency 101 London



Not all men are born equal and not all shirts are lucky. But the man who possesses a lucky shirt is a collar and cuffs above the competition. And should you find yourself caught up in an imaginary bullfight, it pays to have a shirt to hand. Better still, a lucky shirt, with an ace up your sleeve.



The Blouse. The Shirt's better half. Delicate and ethereal, the blouse knows it looks good in natural light and is not afraid to flaunt it. Naughty blouse.
