Diesel, London

Beautiful tones in this window along Knightsbridge here in the centre of it all.  We were actually trying to work out what this window was about and to see if we could link it to one of their campaigns.  Spoiler alert we couldn't.  However while searching across their website we did find that they do produce a lot of homeware products also.  This is completely new news to us and some fine stuff there is too.  We cant imagine searching their site for new flooring however but good to know that they do it.  Have a look, they're doing some great stuff.

Loewe, London

We've been trying to recall where this brand had their store previously.  Was it Mount street?  We managed to capture some great schemes in the old store although this one along Bond street just doesn't work as well at all.  Open backed windows are fine of course although at night time when that security grille comes down, it just kills this space completely.  We really want to love what they do here but we find ourselves not even liking it.  What a shame, such a great brand too.

Hugo Boss, London

Its been a while since we looked at or included this brand although while they produce great quality schemes they are not always the most exciting to look at.  We were drawn to this one though as while it is quite simple they've actually produced a really interesting installation.  Ok, well there is a large format graphic included which we always dread although given the volume of stores they have we can understand why.  The addition of a very convincing rock formation does add considerably to the scheme with a slightly juxtaposed graphic flooring.

Emporio Armani, London

We always wonder when we look at retail store windows on such a regular basis whether some brands have convinced themselves that visual merchandising is just not their thing?  Or, perhaps not right for their brand.  We often see such lukewarm schemes out there on the high street which also makes us wonder if some brands actually have any visual specialists at all.  We are scouring the high street for just about anything visual happening right now but unfortunately we've used up all the good stuff.  In the meantime here's Emporio Armani.

Bags, Inside and Out, V&A, London

If you haven't seen the latest exhibition at the fabulous V&A then what are you waiting for?  We all need inspiration for our work and of course it should be fed regularly.  Even if you are not a big fan of this type of product it will be worth your while anyway.  Bags from Her Maj,  Thatcher, Carrie Bradshaw, to name but a few together with the despatch box from Winston Churchill himself are included here.  You wont be disappointed.  More images are available on our Insta account.

Dolce and Gabbana, London

We actually spotted this scheme a few weeks ago and we are still trying to work out how we feel about it.  We love the floral arches and of course the narrative around the installation although we think its the bust forms which are putting us off actually loving this installation.  Mannequins would have possibly worked a lot better here for us, generating a far more glamorous outcome, even if the product is rather casual.  But, thats just our thoughts.

Mount Street Printers, London

Grrrrr.  We love the window here.  We have included it several times as they obviously care about what is happening in their one space and change it quite regularly.  We love you guys for it too.  We think that they probably just have this one store although we don't actually know very much about them.  Anyway, the current scheme which was produced by @thisisnathanward (clearly very talented) looks great and its wonderful see something visual at this end of Mount street while other stores have sadly faded away.

Purdey, London

We discovered this very established brand a few years ago although we still dont know very much about them however they do produce some great schemes.  Situated towards the end of the commercial area of Mount street the brand clearly take their visual merchandising very seriously (thank goodness) and we imagine invest in someone (or perhaps a team?  maybe freelancers?) to implement their schemes.  Currently these gorgeous moss and bark covered panels have been created as a backdrop to the product in their half-backed windows.

Gina, London

Well isn't this a vision of Pink flora along Mount street right now.  With such a small product and large window spaces it really is no easy task showing this product well.  However this brand always manages to find some successful way of doing it.  Plinths, onto which the delicate and sparkly products have been placed draws the passerby towards the scheme to take a closer look.  Job well done then.

Tory Burch, London

There's possibly a glut of cane rattan webbing available as this brand appear to be using quite a lot of it recently in their schemes.  We're also not huge fans of motifs in windows and this Apple one is not really doing the installation any favours.  Lovely product as always but the scheme for us lacks anything of any interesting.  It is just our thoughts of course although you may think it's wonderful.

Delvaux, London

We really love the windows at this brand and thankfully they recognise the importance of the visual elements to support their products.  The current scheme uses what appears to be plywood as a structure which leads the eye around the space in front of, well, a Topographic graphic,  i.e. a drawing of the arrangement of natural and artificial physical features of an area.  This has then been embedded with text although we don't recognise where this has come from.

Isabel Marant, London

The one thing that we love this brand for is that they really invest in their visual merchandising.  And, not only that, they also include information about their schemes on their website too.  We really wish more brands did this.  Their current scheme 'Pump up the Volume' is a series of installations by Arnold Goron.  You can find the visual of the development of their schemes here via this link  https://www.isabelmarant.com/en/journal/behind-the-scene-fw21-windows/

Tods, London

We do love the schemes at this brand usually although we're not huge fans of large format graphics.  It may be that the current global situation has forced their hand with this scheme although we would have at least expected to see whatever product was in the images actually in the windows too.  Or, of course perhaps they could have used something more lifestyle-like?  As usual the product is great, the window scheme is not very exciting for this type of brand though.

Dr. Barbara Sturm, London

It's always so exciting to come across brands which we have never seen before.  It transpires that this one has a store in LA, Miami, of course here in London but also slightly oddly in Dusseldorf too.  Clearly there is a glamorous crowd somewhere there - who knew.  Anyway, the windows appear very clinical and very medical with no colour in sight.  A very simple scheme created with the use of these acrylic boxes in a repetition format.

Roksanda, London

We're quite relieved that this brand have managed to ride the wave and stay around after the recent events.  We've spotted even more casualties of the pandemic on the high street recently and it becomes ever more difficult to find schemes to show you.  That said, this brand always make an effort with their schemes, the current one is an installation with the product by Misha Milovanovich which we think is called an Exquisite Paradox and the Shape of colour.  Essentially it's the kind of stuff we've seen on repeat for goodness knows how many years  although of course we are grateful that there is anything visual at all.
