Holly Willoughby looked gorgeous on Wednesday’s This Morning as she wore a puff-sleeve midi dress. The star, who welcomed her new baby to the world in November, opted for a monochrome style that featured a pretty ditsy floral print. She also rocked a square neckline, fitted bodice and daring split skirt. Holly teamed her slinky frock with a pair of her go-to Gianvito Rossi suede heels and pulled her blonde hair into a side parting. The flattering frock is available to buy in most sizes and costs PS110.
In the 1971 film The French The french connection attack Connection, NYPD narcotics detectives Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy “Cloudy” Russo (Roy Scheider) follow a trail of clues to Marseille in pursuit of Corsican heroin smuggler Alain Charnier. Renegade director William Friedkin’s gritty drama is one of the greatest crime thrillers ever made. Its depiction of New York’s ugly underbelly and the famous car chase sequence (shot without permits in real city traffic) are still gripping today.
In the Nineties, French Connection’s arresting FCUK branding tapped into the logo-laden zeitgeist. Simple T-shirts emblazoned with the word appeared everywhere, pairing well with combat pants and a girl power pout or the requisite parka and scowl depending on your fashion inclination. But the label lost ground as tastes shifted, and in recent years it has seen pre-tax losses rise and its share price tumbling. Yesterday, it announced that it was turning the shutters down on 14 UK stores in locations like Bluewater and Brent Cross shopping centres. It was the latest blow to a brand that has already shed its Nicole Farhi label and shut its Los Angeles store. The founder, Chris Marks, is trying to resurrect the brand with the launch of a new homeware line and plans to expand its retail and online business.
