Dior, London

You really have to see this scheme in person to truly appreciate it. It is also quite unusual for schemes to come out of the window spaces too, at least here in the UK unless there is some sort of security watching over it. The props here are just exquisitely produced with what looks like straw and woven so beautifully and so detailed. This whole scheme produced worldwide kept an awful lot of people very busy for quite some time. Just stunning.

Isabel Marant, London

We absolutely love that this brand always includes information about their installations on their website. Why don't more brands do this? The latest installation, called Dekalekatane is by the Artist Arnold Goron and another winner from this brand which, to be honest, we dont know a lot about but do check out this part of the Isabel Marant site as they have included some visuals from some of their other stores. https://www.isabelmarant.com/en/journal/isabel-marant-window-display-spring-summer-2023/

Fendi, London

Whoever thought it was a good idea to put pillars in front of the window must be truly mad. Besides its obvious use of holding up the building, does anyone know why this was done? In the meantime, this brand have been knocking out the schemes faster than Dolce & Gabbana used to do and clearly on a roll. At first glance we thought these were ribbons stretched across the windows however it turns out that they are in fact metal bars in these candy colours.

Salvatore Ferragamo, London

We've seen some great schemes from this brand over the years and this one is no exception. The beauty of this store is that you can see how the scheme itself flows through from the window to the interior of the space. The current installation in this stunning shade of Red can also be viewed as the Golden thread through their collection and web page - not a huge amount but it is clearly there.

Hermes, London

This brand are always such a treat to visit. We always find ourselves drooling over their windows. We're also always dying to know the Golden thread of the theme that runs through their schemes each year as the visual merchandising always make so much more sense although like so many brands out there with the exception of Isabel Marant and Selfridges (but not many others?) this brand never include their latest schemes on their website. Such a shame not to record such wonderful Artwork.

Hogan, London

We often include this brand here as they usually produce some very interesting schemes. We're not so sure about this one and couldn't think why. We look at window schemes on a daily basis and there is a certain something which either makes a scheme come alive or look dead. For us at least, schemes which look like they have been produced using photoshop or arrived on the back of lorry and lifted into the window overnight just don't work for us. Great shade of Green though.

Louis Vuitton, London

If you have a social media site or two then you couldn't have missed this scheme at the amazing LV right now. Every store across the world has a version of this scheme and some are quite spectacular. You may recall their previous collaboration with Yayoi Kusama back in 2012 when the brand too took over most of Selfridges (we probably have the images on here). This store along Sloane street looks wonderful.

Harvey Nichols, London

We remember (and have photos of) the launch of this flyer collection of mannequins from Rootstein at this store right now. The New York showroom was particularly stunning. They are quite a difficult collection to use but so beautiful. As always Harvey Nichols have pulled it out of the bag with this gorgeous scheme at their Knightsbridge store.

Loro Piana, London

We've been scouting around Sloane street this week as the windows thankfully at luxury brands change quite frequently. This brand produce some great quality schemes too and the current one, while launched during the darkness, wet and cold of winter are certainly a welcomed relief with its huge bunches of Summer flowers.

Ralph Lauren, London

How beautiful are these windows? As always this brand produces the most glamorous and aspirational spaces in their windows with gorgeous product and everything perfectly placed and presented. We always love the apartments, lodges, and all of the other settings which this brand so cleverly creates in their windows that we often find ourselves salivating just looking at them.

Loewe, London

Happy Chinese New Year and the year of the Rabbit. We haven't spotted a lot of schemes around town recently so we're guessing this period of austerity and crises continues to plague us all, even the luxury brands (well probably not). We love the store that this brand has along Bond Street with its Silver glittery walls. We're not entirely sure about these Rabbit props in the windows however.

Stella McCartney, London

You really have to see this in the 'flesh' to truly appreciate it as our platform makes everything so small. While it is of course fun in some way there is a serious message behind it although quite clever humour has been applied (and let's face it, there isn't enough of that out there right now), it does help the message to be less confrontational. Great work all round and as usual you can see these images across our other social media sites too.
