Coach, London

We spotted this scheme at Coach recently which we guess was in celebration of Chinese New Year and looks really cool when seen in the 'flesh' as the finish on these snake-like structures (which are probably roads) are in a beautiful purple / glitter finish.  Miniature Gold cars wind their way up the structures complete with 'cut-out' Gold cityscapes.

Lagerfeld, London

We love the references to the old sailor-style tattoos at Lagerfeld along Regent street at the moment.  Neon highlights elevated the background pieces blazoned with the name Karl on one side and good old swallows carry the product on the other.  All of this mixed with a dose of the elegant Aloof figures from Bonaveri.

Fenwick, London

Fenwick along Bond street here in the the centre of London just keeps on giving with yet another great scheme from this brand.  Launching their Globetrotter installation for LFW this store keeps us coming back time and time again.  Giant maps of the fashion capitals around the world fill the background to their amazing products, all of which are perfectly presented in their huge window spaces.  Do go an visit this store if you can as they've really turned into an amazing destination.

Dolce and Gabbana, London

We're not entirely sure how hot this brand are on sustainability although we have come across this scheme at the Milan and NYC stores previously, albeit in a different colour.  The props as usual are superb however and worth including anyway as these kinds of land-of-the-giant-type schemes are always fun and naturally at this brand of course, well presented.

Etro, London

Looking particularly colourful and very grand, Etro really is putting a lot of energy into their schemes right now.  This window at their store along Bond street really does need to be seen for yourself as a still image really doesnt do it justice however; a fantastic mirrored screen forms the background  punctuated with a huge chandelier.  This whole scene is reminiscent of one of those tableaux from an old wax museum such as the Musee Grevin don't you think?

If there is one place here in London to visit then it has to be the Victoria and Albert Museum.  All the glamour you might need encapsulated in just one place.  If you havent seen their latest offering then do go and check out the Ocean Liners: Speed and Style exhibition; as usual this show is superb.  Our lovely friends at www.proportionlondon.com have produced the amazing Art Deco inspired Gold lacquered mannequins for this show which was inspired by the era's extravagant interiors and explores the wardrobes of the rich and famous voyagers.  The show includes, amongst others, Marlene Dietrich's charcoal Christian Dior suit and Lanvin's amazing beaded flapper dress.  This is one show not to be missed, so go on, take the afternoon off and get yourself over to West London and experience this for yourself.

Dior, London

When we saw this installation we immediately thought of the work by the Artist Niki De Saint Phalle and a cursory glance across the internet reveals that it was in fact produced in homage to the her for the launch of Dior's SS18 catwalk.  We've been big fans of De Saint Phalle's work for a long time so its great to come across this.  The catwalk of course was much bigger in the form of a mirrored pavilion by Bureau Batak and consisted of 80,000 mirrored shards.  Staggering.

Selfridges, London

We've been itching to go and have a look at this scheme at Selfridges for a while and of course, as always this fantastic brand with a huge personality never disappoints.

Burberry, London

In support of LGBT+ charities, Burberry have just launched their rainbow check /tartan which has also been unveiled during London Fashion Week here in the centre of it all.  This emblem of "optimism and inclusiveness" has been a long time coming but we've finally got there.  Good on you Burberry.  We cant forget however the tireless work of key activist who helped get things to this point of course.

Buttericks, Stockholm

This is our final entry on Stockholm as while we have explored the entire city there isn't that much from a Visual Merchandising perspective for us to share, although there is a lot of inspiration.  This was quite a fun place we found, Buttericks although we didnt have the opportunity to explore the interior however we are guessing from the scheme this is either a party or vintage retailer.  One place that we would recommend exploring however is the H&M homeware store situated along the main street of the city.

Chen Man, Fearless and Fabulous, Stockholm

The Fotografiska here in Stockholm is proving to be a goldmine for inspiration and just look at these incredible images from the artist Chen Man.  Chen Man "is undoubtedly the pioneer in Chinese photography...and has firmly established herself as the most sought-after and certainly highest paid fashion and portrait photographer in China...featuring in leading publications such as Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar,  Cosmopolitan and I-D."  This part of the Fotografiska is so worth a visit if you can as Chen Man's work is quite stunning.

Fotografiska, Stockholm

While we are here in Stockholm, it is of course important to scan a huge variety of areas across the city in order to drill down into the places which make this city so cool.  At the Fotografiska we came across one of their amazing new exhibitions by the artist Nick Veasey.  Veasey works in his X-ray studio, based in a rural area outside of Maidstone, England and has mastered a gaze which can penetrate compact objects through his X-ray technique.  If you need some inspiration then these kinds of places really do invigorate the senses and it was well worth the visit through the snow and freezing weather to this rather isolated exhibition site here in Stockholm.
