Bloomingdales, Dubai

In our final entry of 2017 we just wanted to slip in this scheme from Bloomingdales before we move on from this incredible country.  We sadly missed the New York installation as we were in town a little too early to see their scheme but as always, the magic and glamour of this time of year is oozing from their windows.  'Glow What Fun' is the strap line here and what we have forgotten to mention is that we have spotted an awful lot of Ferris Wheels this season here in Dubai being used in schemes across the malls.

Louis Vuitton Time Capsule, Dubai

This was a gem-of-a-find here in Dubai; The LV Time Capsule.  We recently saw the brands exhibition back in New York which we included recently for you although we hadn't anticipated finding this.  In the heart of the Dubai Mall is this installation and unlike the New York exhibition it was thankfully completely empty when we visited.  Showcasing a handpicked selection of objects and documents from their archives (wouldn't you just love to see what they have in there..!) the collection here covers over 160 years.  This temporary space includes four aspects of the House: the Codes of the brand, Journeys around the World, Elegance and Beauty in Motion.  An amazing find.

Christian Louboutin, Dubai

This schemes at Louboutin always have such an energy about them although the shapes and forms here are slightly mystifying us?  There are of course large elements of lighting on the floor among the many stacked boxes although the props are not particularly recognisable to us?  Maybe the brand are having an abstract holiday period moment, after all its no easy task implementing schemes in this part of the world where you want to appeal to the passing international footfall but don't want to upset the locals.

Loewe, Dubai

This is another slightly oddly placed store although as always they make an effort which is very much appreciated.  There is a tiny strap line at the bottom of the window here, William Morris meets Punk. Of course everything is beautifully produced although it seems so strange to see references to an iconic and historical designer such as Morris and the sub-culture Punk.  The Morris references are clearly evidenced although we dont quite understand the references to Punk?  Do you?

Hermes, Dubai

Its seems that the world over this brand can do no wrong and yet again we have another corker-of-a-scheme.  With its Parisian references in Pastel shades the props here are as always so superbly produced.  Its also worth mentioning that this is also quite an odd store as it is sat right in the middle of the mall rather than among the other luxury fashion brands in the 'drum' and always appears as a kind of 'pop-up' space; it isn't but it does seem strangely placed.

Cartier, Dubai

After weeks of cold weather its such a pleasure to feel the warmth on our faces again and this week we are exploring the delights of the Dubai Malls.  There isn't much we haven't shown you already either in London or New York so our entries are slightly limited to this week only.  As this seasonal period is rather underplayed there is not a lot of holiday cheer going on however one brand we haven't included for a while is Cartier.  Superb props as always and as we also find at Tiffany, all in miniature.

Flatiron Building, New York

We came across this installation within the windows of the Flatiron building and while not the most seasonal installation we wanted to share something a little more generic for you on this day of celebration.  Wishing you all a very Happy Holidays (or Christmas) or just a day off depending where you are in the world.  We're just about to leave NYC for the Middle East to view their seasonal offering and will be showing what is happening right now in Dubai very soon (well tomorrow actually)

Versace, New York

We're teetering on that time of year again and all will soon be over as quickly as it came, so here's some Christmas bling.  We don't often include this brand back in London but this blinding Golden nugget of a prop stopped us in our tacks along 5th Avenue the other evening so we were compelled to included it here for you to see too.

Brunello Cucinelli, New York

This brand seems to work very quietly away producing amazing quality products and some great schemes.  Right now the brand have adopted a Grey..ish installation based around the season with just a few hints to the season.

Dolce and Gabbana, New York

This brand have had a very big presence this Christmas both here in New York and in London; there surely must be as many stores here as there are in Milan as they seem to be everywhere?  What does amaze us is the amount of different schemes we've spotted across all of their stores which must have taken a staggering amount of time to plan, develop and implement - certainly no easy task to do and a huge nod of respect to the guys involved in doing all of that work.

Sonia Rykiel, New York

This is a very simple installation from this brand.  Articulated wooden hands have been hung from the ceiling in this directional dynamic with a deep Red backdrop.  There isn't much else we can say about this installation other than that although we guess the colour is seasonal.

Fishs Eddy, New York

We always try to fall in love with this brands products but still only find that we just 'like' them but never purchase anything.  As always the store and their windows are always so creatively presented but we just dont feel the need to buy anything here.  We guess some brands are just like that.

ABC, New York

Whenever we feel the need for a creative 'fix' we always make a bee-line for ABC here in New York. In the U.S. homeware is always produced and presented so beautifully and this store is one of the best in the world (albeit very expensive).  If you are not familiar with the store and happen to be in NYC then do check it out as they never disappoint, containing some of the best products from around the globe and always so beautifully and creatively presented.

We spotted this scheme back in London although we had no idea who actually produced it.  For this year’s seasonal campaign this Swiss luxury watchmaker developed this stunning illuminated carousel with beautiful Red toys and gift boxes to create a perfect Christmas scene.  Produced in conjunction with www.dfrost.com
