Akris, New York

We've been sent a few little gems from New York by our wonderful friend and colleague Linda Cahan which we thought we would share with you.  A simple and clean scheme at Akris.

Chanel, London

We haven't included this brand for absolutely ages.  We usually cringe as we walk passed as they always look so dreadful.  The new store along Bond street however looks as if someone is breathing some creative life back into the brand and we've been so pleasantly surprised that we had to share it with you.  Their usual mannequins with shrunken heads however are doing them no favours though?
