Ralph Lauren, London

There is a wonderful luxurious house style to the schemes at Ralph Lauren (at least here in London) and they often, as we have shown throughout 2017,  include references to interiors (albeit the kind of places many of us will never live in, however thats aspiration for you).  This scheme is also quite a shift from using their usual glamorous mannequins with a much softer application and the inclusion of these 'human' teddy bears.  A wonderfully detailed scheme this is too.

If you dont know the history of this store then do do a quick search via the internet as it really is fascinating.  KaDeWe which means Kaufhaus Des Westens or Department store of the West is enormous and the second largest department store in Europe (after Harrods).  This season the brand have produced this incredible installation which continues the adventures from last Christmas of the KaDeWe 'wichtels' (or Santa's little helpers) produced in conjunction with the team at www.barthelmess.com/en  This is certainly an amazing immersive scheme for their European and international market.

Liberty, London

Views over the roof tops is the seasonal offering from Liberty right now.  This store has always had the cache of being a cool place to be (besides being in such an iconic and desirable place).  Great props beautifully executed too with the products themselves being slightly less of a focus.  We are always amazed at their innovation and consistency of delivery.

There's nothing like this time of year in London as it always looks quite magical with the lights of Regent street, Oxford street and Bond street and some of the amazing windows out there right now.  As always the team at Vivienne Westwood have delivered another incredible scheme too in conjunction with Make it London, Starscape, Onward Display and Ecotricity with their Biblical schemes complete with Supernova and constellation backdrops.  Do swing by these stores along Conduit street if you can as they really need to be seen and experienced in the 'flesh'.

Karl Lagerfeld, London

With a shimmering background punctuated with these bright Yellow focal points and the strapline Karl Holidays in neon, this brand have continually delivered some great schemes this year.  Oddly we haven yet been inside of this space to have a scout around although we tend to be out and about during the late night hours when all is quiet.  This is another brand on our list to watch for 2018.

Hermes have astounded us with their creativity throughout 2017 and their current scheme with references to 'Space' is amazing.  With their flying saucer and spacemen this brand are a gift that just keeps on giving and we will certainly be following them throughout 2018.

Harvey Nichols, London

If this time of year is getting you down then get yourself over to Harvey Nichols and feel uplifted by their seasonal scheme.  Glittering across Knightbridge the team here have done it again with the latest scheme to celebrate the season.  This has been a tough year for everyone but the energy put into this installation is quite evident and very much appreciated.  Just check out those glittery faced mannequins too - stunning.

VM and Display Awards. London

If you were not at the VM and Display Awards this week then sadly you missed a treat.  With the very gregarious Louis Spence hosting the event it was amazing so see such talent in just one space.  Congratulations to all of this winners this year.  In a period of austerity and uncertainty these guys constantly delivered some amazing schemes which kept us entertained, delighted and amazed.

Harrods, London

Dolce and Gabbana are rocking London right now with a multitude of schemes - just check this one out at Harrods.  We don't under estimate the amount of work that has gone in to the planning and execution of this installation and judging by the crowds everyone appears wowed by this latest scheme for the season.  Is there anything that Dolce and Gabbana don't do?  From women's tailoring, to cosmetics, millennials to eyewear, everything is covered at this impressive run of windows in Knightsbridge right now.

Hackett, London

Magic schemes are right on trend at the moment; check out Bloomingdales in New York if you can.  This brand never fails to deliver and as always remains one of those brands to keep an eye on throughout 2018.  A sumptuous installation, perfectly executed and great product.  What more could you ask for?
