French Connection has launched its AW26 campaign with the Your Call creative “centred on the everyday decisions made before anyone else gets a say”. It said that “in an era where days feel dictated by plans and expectations, Your Call is a reminder that those choices are still ours to make”.

Interestingly, the release linked to the campaign makes no mention of fashion so the brand is clearly trying to connect to consumers on a more-lifestyle-focused level that will resonate with them as they go about their daily lives.

The campaign launches with This First, the “opening chapter built around the split-second decisions where you decide what the day gets from you, before the day gets to decide first. The first ten minutes of the day, your morning coffee, a moment to reset before the inbox rings. It is a ritual of time that belongs entirely to you, and what you choose to do with it is your call”.

The overarching theme will continue throughout the season for the label with each chapter capturing a single decision. The company will bring it to life by unveiling a series of in-store and brand activations, “creating conversations around personal rituals and pushing back against the everyday hustle”.

Head of design Helen Gallagher said: “Those first ten minutes are the only part of my day that truly belong to me. Before anyone’s asked anything of me, before the meetings, the commute and the noise. It’s those moments that are worth savouring before you’re three decisions deep and the day has its own agenda.”
