Tommy Hilfiger, London

Its been a very long time since we looked at the windows here although to be honest they haven't done very much or at least nothing we really wanted to share with you anyway.  So here they are.  Encouraging us to find our happy place this Summer is Tommy Hilfiger.  Thankfully we have already found ours, well, actually we found it a long time ago but you get the idea anyway.

Brunello Cucinelli, London

This scheme is probably not very easy to view therefore we have as usual included our instagram and facebook links below if you want to take a closer look.  Anyway, we're not entirely sure if we actually like this scheme ourselves although of course that doesn't actually matter.  We do however love the tonal values connecting the fashion items with he background props although we are not quite sure about the lack of mannequins here.

Massimo Dutti, London

This brand always produce such carefully considered and thoughtful schemes although of course at the moment they just need to promote their product and shift this stuff.  So, go on, help them out as they do produce some quality schemes and we don't want to kill it.  We know some wonderful things are on there way and we do have to get out there and shop.  Please just do it and don't just buy online.

Stella McCartney, London

This brand don't tend to spend a lot on their visual merchandising which is why we rarely include them.  Simply, nothing to see here.  We did find this installation however, several mannequins but with animal heads on them.  Yes, we don't know what to make of it earlier.  Might have been better to have included some mannequins in more dynamic poses with amazing hair and makeup but there you go.

Mulberry, London

Collaborations are such a great way of refreshing what brands out there do and in celebration of their 50th Anniversary this brand have joined with Ahluwalia as a part of their series of limited edition collaborations with some of the most visionary designers of their generation, as their window decal would indicate.  We can certainly see a big shift in the designs of their window schemes and of course look forward to the next instalment which we will share here.  Go Mulberry..!

Isabel Marant, London

We go through phases with this brand.  Sometimes we love what they do and other times, well you know.  The current scheme looks exactly (we guess) like the photoshopped version in the pack sent out by their Head Office.  Lets put the crappy sculpture there and two bust forms of product and then forget to close the panels when we leave the store.  There's not a lot of love in the production, execution and viewing of this scheme sadly.  Just telling it like it is.

Chanel, London

This is such a nice scheme from this brand which at first glance appear quite simple but are also, no doubt took-a-lot-of-work kind of windows.  We love the illuminated panels at the back of the windows which have a sort of laser cut / lace-like look to them.  We have probably mentioned previously how this brand used to look so terrible but clearly not any more and gone (at least for now) are those horrible pin headed mannequins.  There is a VM God after all.

Ralph Lauren, London

We had just been thinking to ourselves how drab London was looking at the moment and then came across this..!  Wow, how incredible.  We suddenly recalled that this brand always support this event although this is the biggest scheme we've seen from them to date.  In fact, we almost missed  the windows, which incidentally are quite magnificent too.  We haven't had the opportunity to go inside the store as we were capturing the scheme one evening although do check them out.

Michael Kors, London

We actually included this scheme from this brand recently however we are including it again as of course they have added a vinyl to the fenestration.  We decided that this really was worth including again as the guys here always make an effort for Pride, and even though the event itself has been cancelled again this year, due to, well, rather obvious reasons, we were rather pleased to see that this brand, as well as one or two others have acknowledged this annual event.  Therefore, just as a reminder of how far we have come we wanted to just reinforce this important message too.

Max Mara, London

There's quite an interesting use of materials vibe which we've seen around town recently which we've seen across a few brands.  Well, either that or no one can find a supplier to produce their schemes.  Anyway, it is quite a nice move nonetheless and abstract forms are a good gap filler when you need something quick.  This brand produce some great schemes although they have probably squeezed a return on those mannequins by now?

Louis Vuitton, London

This brand have just got it, haven't they.  Got.  It.  As always, even during these difficult times this brand are a gift that just keeps on giving when it comes to their windows.  We have no idea what the narrative is here but it doesn't matter, we can just stand back and enjoy the spectacle.  When so much of London looks so shabby right now, thank goodness these guys came to work.  Enjoy.

Mulberry, London

Celebrating a whopping 50 years is this brand right now.  They appear to have adopted a more abstract approach to their schemes for a while now and gone are the narratives which we used to love.  Still, things change and move on.  The text on the window (we we appreciate you wont be able to see it) reads "In 2021 we celebrate 50 years of Mulberry: contemporary British design, traditional craftsmanship and the Made to Last ethos at the heart of our brand".  Indeed.  Here's to another 50 years and beyond we say.

Cos, London

We captured this scheme recently however when we came to process and upload our images we have completely forgotten who the brand are.  In fact, we were wondering which luxury brand they were as there are hints of Isabel Marant or any of the numerous luxury schemes along Mount street.  It only dawned on us that in fact this is Cos.  Wow.  We cant believe how good this brand is looking right now and certainly closing that gap between affordable luxury and the super luxury brands.  Well done you guys.

Selfridges, London

Whenever we feel the need for a big dose of creativity we know that we can always rely on this brand.  We adore the Fine Art approach they take with their work and we are rather amazed that, given the amount of windows the teams here have to work with that they have anything in their windows at all.  The current scheme is their Good Nature windows all made with the Earth in mind.  Do have a look at their website as they have included the initial visuals next to the completed windows which are really interesting.

Coach, London

It's been so long since we have been able to visit this brand.  Thankfully they always produce some great schemes in their enormous windows in the former Jaegar store along Regent street.  Unfortunately we have to stand in the middle of the traffic to get a full view of their schemes which as you can appreciate takes quick timing and a lot of waiting to just capture it before the constant passing crowds block the view.  This week, there's a kind of nod to architecture with what appears to be the Empire state building referenced here complete with a bit of playfulness with the inclusion of a slide onto which the product has been placed.
