Empty Shop Unit, London

With so many empty shop units across the city it really has made us realise how much of a knife edge so many retailers are on.  We came across this one bathed in a Selfridges Yellow tone which looks quite inviting (although most are not) however with so many empty spaces looking like missing teeth on the high street we thought we would pause and urge you all to ditch at least some of the online retailers (particularly the one which funded sending the dreadful person into space - do we really need to give them more of our money?) and get out there and support your high streets.

We're always rather surprised to see the windows at this brand although we shouldn't really be as they always make such an effort (which we really appreciate) therefore in some way its a given that they will produce a quality scheme.  Presenting shoes and bags in an interesting way and the fact that they really don't have the shape of windows to show small products it must be an ongoing challenge for the team here to produce something interesting, but they always do.  Clouds are another nightmare to get right but they've done it all so beautifully.

Massimo Dutti, London

Even in their simplicity this brand get it all so right don't they?  Perfect for this time of year, not only have the brand included seasonal tones but also ones which are completely on trend.  The finish is always perfect and we have to mention how great it is to see mannequins which have been wired rather than resorting to base plates - luxury brands take note.

Ermenegildo Zegna, London

We've always enjoyed the schemes at this brand and just for reference we did capture this scheme a few weeks ago.  The team were still implementing it on one of our rounds so we had to wait a few weeks before we were out and about again to capture these.  With their Reset, What Makes a Man, retailoring the modern man strap line the brand are absolutely capturing the vibe out there right now.  It is time for a reset and hopefully the paths we now take will be far more beneficial to all.

Mulberry, London

We've shared some real corkers from this brand recently and while we captured this scheme a few weeks ago (we mention this in case it has changed) this one is worth mentioning too.  In collaboration with Richard Malone, the brand have created more of their abstract forms with which to show the product.  Great use of colour and an interesting direction in their windows for this brand right now.

John Lewis, London

As always this brand deliver beautifully executed schemes.  OK, well they are not always the most exciting but they are excellent quality.  But.  Forget that.  We are absolutely obsessed with the reflection in the canopy.  Now, if this were one of the other department stores around town they would probably have used that to their advantage and brought it into a scheme.  We cant stop looking at it.  Perhaps one day they will do something with it such as produce a scheme which needs to be viewed in the reflection?

For All Mankind, London

It has been such a long time since we included this brand although its only on the odd occasion that they produce something which draws us in to take a closer look.  And, just look at this little beauty. Thier current installation relates to the product and the recycling of plastic in order to produce their new denim products.  Denim of course uses vast amounts of resources for such little output so its great to see that so many brands, particularly fashion ones are finally picking up the sustainability baton.

Tiffany, London

We really do love the windows at this brand and just look at this gorgeous scheme.  We have the full run on our Instagram and Facebook site so just showing you a snapshot here.  There's no apparent theme although that doesn't really matter, we just love the colours and across the whole scheme barely any product at all.  Thats confidence for you.

Prada, London

We really do want to love this brand and on the odd occasion we really do but then we move on again.  Normally these guys are the masters of colour combinations and their approaches to their work through the Prada Foundation is just staggering.  However,  these windows.  We seem to move from feast to famine with the schemes here and we do have to mention, do we really need another large format graphic in a window?  C'mon Prada, you are the fabulous cultured friend everyone wants to meet not the trashy friend who embaresses themselves after just one drink at the party.  Sort ya'selves out.

Michael Kors, London

As you can see from our images, this was not the easiest scheme to capture but wow what an impact these make on the high street.  Celebrating of course the latest 007 blockbuster No Time to Die, this brands' windows look incredible.  It has been such a long time since we saw this kind of promotion that we had almost forgotten that anyone did it and what a coup for this brand.  We also made a very short video below as still images never really convey the impact these have.

Ralph Lauren, London

Wow...!  If there is one brand who know how to install and present a luxury scheme its certainly this one.  Just look at this absolutely stunning installation.  As always, the team here delivers those impossibly luxurious interiors which most of us can only dream of being a part of and all so tonal and sensitively produced.  We cant help but fall in love with this latest amazing work.  Are we gushing? Absolutely we are.

Givenchy, London

We have no idea what this scheme is about although we just love what these guys are doing.  Is there a narrative here?  We have no idea.  This brand are forging their own path with their visual merchandising and we are drawn in.  There's no apparent link to anything at all, and yet we find ourselves loving the outlandishness of their work and binge looking like its Squid Game.  Keep 'em coming. Please.

Chanel, London

We can honestly say that we have never looked at this brands' schemes previously and loved it.  Never, Ever.  However we happened across this one, thankfully they got rid of those horrible pin head mannequins but the key point of interest for us is this incredible background structure.  It appears to us to look like a mountainscape, possibly the Alps, as a three dimensional piece.  Really beautifully produced.  We have no idea if this scheme has been installed where you are but this really is worth taking a closer look at.
