Alexander McQueen, London


I'm really bored with the corporate use of Graphics in store windows, although here at McQueen, who could possibly not like what they have produced?  OK well it is the usual 'lenticular' but thankfully this one really is a work of Art and so is completely forgivable.  I just sincerely hope this is a one-off occasion however, not here at the Bond St. site, but as a trickle down effect to the 'laggard' brands who keep reproducing this stuff in every format that we never knew could exist and more often than not in every format that we always knew did - give me a break.  Anyway, to appreciate this image I have included three photographs from various angles, although better still, do go and have a look yourself.


Natural History Museum, London


Wow, with so much fantastic stuff at the Natural History Museum here in London, how could one not be inspired?  These old display cases and vitrines with stuffed birds are incredible.  OK, I'm not particularly au fait with stuffed animals myself and these Humming birds have seen better days, but wow, what wonderful applications this could have as Visual Merchandising and within Retail Interiors for that gorgeous boutique look.  Refreshed, cleansed, inspired what better way is there to spend an afternoon.
