At French Connection, Spring Summer ’10 is colorful, shiny and a whole lot of 50’s meets 80’s.

In the brand’s own words, “…It’s like a washed out photograph from a 50’s vacation in Hawaii gets discovered in the 80’s and inspires a collection where fashion means business but also lots of fun.”

In stores, look for stripes, retro prints, exposed zippers, exaggerated shoulders contrasted with softer detailing, neons and soft fabrics.

Here are a few of the newest pieces.
