Lanvin, London

With their ill-fitting wigs and miles and miles of not-so-invisible thread Lanvin are rocking a kind of 1970's Batman and Robin 'Kapow', 'Zonk' or possibly 'Biff' right now?  The concept is interesting but the finish is rather amateur.  This is such a shame given the brand it is, although no-one else seems to notice?

Dover street Market, London

If you are in and around Dover street (just off Bond Street if you are not sure) then do poke your head into Dover Street Market.  Of course this super cool place is well known to fashionista and if you look now you can view their latest installation, this one by the amazing designer J W Anderson in an incredible shade of Blue.

Burberry, London

This brand is looking so good right now, don't you think?  With their repetition of radiating forms (yes we are seeing this everywhere right now) we found ourselves licking the windows (apologies to Burberry for the saliva on your windows).  The product is delicious and we couldn't fault this installation.

Tods, London

The latest scheme at Tods right now; a large footwear colour wheel.  We love the luxuriousness of the product at this brand and occasionally they do produce exceptional schemes.  This one was difficult to capture well but here we have repetition of product in a radiating format.

Davidoff, Brussels, Belgium

We rarely hear about this brand here in the UK so it was a unique pleasure to receive these gorgeous images. This flagship store in Belgium's capital Brussels at Place De Grand Sablon really is spectacular.  Due to the very nature of the product (Cigars) a huge amount of detailed design has been considered from the humidity, ventilation, lighting and flooring, all perfectly orchestrated by those clever guys at Arno.  Unfortunately we can only include images of a certain size here due to blogger contstaints however you can check out larger sizes of this stunning space on their site here http://www.arno-online.com/en/davidoff-store.html

Pink, London

Any colour as long as it's Pink....! is the strap line at Pink right now and how incredible does this installation look?  We adored the use of gravity as a product handling dynamic with articulated hands in a shocking Pink colour.  This scheme looks more like pure Art rather than Visual Merchandising, clearly blurring those boundaries further and looking simply fantastic.

Brora, London

We don't know this brand at all but since we captured their London in Bloom scheme we have seen an additional store not very far away (knowing this is probably not even vaguely interesting).  But, anyway, here it is their contribution to the event of the season; we particularly loved the heather embedded in the wool surround here.

Hugo Boss, London

Right opposite Sloane Street tube station is the fantastic Hugo Boss and their enormous window installation of giant foliage and what appears to be a loose sand based flooring.  The whole scheme is punctuated by their abstract mannequins in a pearl Grey finish.

Phase 8, London

Just in case you haven't had enough of Britain in Bloom here's a few more installations for you to drool over.  We've only recently realised that we have never included this brand before so it was a treat to receive some images.  Fingers crossed this brand will continue and build upon their visual merchandising offer and we can include them more often.....just watch this space....

Moyses Stevens, London

We've never included this brand previously although we were drawn to the activity going on here during their installation. Florists since 1876, this incredibly delicious store certainly looks the most detailed of all the stores in bloom right now.  Covered mannequins and huge cascades of the most wonderful flora completely burst into and outside of this tiny space.  Is there a prize for the best store?

Rag & Bone, London

Just around the corner from Kate Spade and also in Bloom as part of the season is the Rag and Bone store in prime position opposite Tiffany (incidentally you can view the Tiffany scheme on our sister site www.flexiblefashioncollective.com )  Both the Union and American flag have been installed in their window schemes with a floral arch at the entrance.  All looking really great around this part of town right now.

Kate Spade, London

Palm trees growing out of Kate Spade?  Only in London.  Check out the enormous tropical plant surrounding their side window also at this store complete with giant Tucan.  Absolutely incredible.  Our photographs don't do this scheme justice so if you happen to be near Sloane street station just check out this store behind Peter Jones; incredible.

L. K. Bennett, London

It must be that time of year again for the Chelsea Flower show as the key places around the Kings Road here in London where we have focused our camera this week is all in bloom and wow there are some amazing schemes here.  At L.K.Bennett large paint tubes with gorgeous flowers oozing from them with one apparently squeezed so hard it spills onto the street with a huge floral splash.  We don't see retailers working outside of their windows onto the high street very often so this is a treat indeed.  Just go and have a look at it all as it really is a fantastic spectacle.  We will be showing you some of the best ones here anyway in the meantime this week.

Harrods, Pradasphere, London

Have you been to see Pardasphere at Harrods yet?  If not then you really are missing a corker of an experience.  We had our own special tour of this amazing exhibition from one of the guys here who was extremely knowledgeable about the brand and its history and eloquently contextualised each key element.  Historical products, the likes of wish you may never see again in the most exotic materials; lizard, python, ivory, tortoise shell and even Elephant skin, yep..!  The product of course is of a time so the use of materials now historical yet understandable but the details are staggering.  A visual feast tracing each delicious collection awaits you so if you haven't been then get yourself over to Knightsbridge and take a look.  Its too hot in the office to work anyway so go on, treat yourself and feel cleansed with new and exciting knowledge about this phenomenal brand.  We only wish that there was information that we could have taken away with us but then we guess its all part of the emphemeral nature of these events.

Shanghai Tang, London

As we've seen across so many brands over the passed few weeks, the 'Tropical' theme appears to be one of the key trends happening right now from luxury all the way down to the mid rangers and possibly beyond.  Here at Shanghai Tang beautifully cut paper foliage is bursting out of this gorgeous window scheme at their store along Sloane street.

Dior, London

Dior is sporting large out sized flowers at the moment in a repetition format.  This is not quite our preference but then these kind of luxury brands seem to get away with a certain amount of 'vulgarity' which others appear to follow.  Anyway, here's their latest scheme in all its glory.

Bonaveri Launch new Aloof Mannequin, London

Were you at the incredible Bonaveri launch last night?  If you weren't invited then here's a little snapshot for you.  The whole event was presented in one of the coolest places in West London; dinner, drinks and London's finest and most glittering fashion crowd socialised and partied all evening surrounded by the latest collection produced in collaboration with the guys at Chameleon Design (who incidentally designed these gorgeous invitations and catalogue).  Here's some images to drool over and we don't mind gushing a little and saying that this really was one of the coolest places to be last night.  If you are reading this then you missed it or you are reading this through your hang over some time today.
