Ralph Lauren, London

How wonderfully elegant at these windows at this brand right now?  The context appears to reference travel and possibly a cruise ship although more likely a very large private yacht with its very sleek backdrop which no doubt was very expensive to  produce.  Making a scheme look this simple has taken some skill and all perfectly illuminated with gorgeous product.

D&G, London

It's that kind of in between season point at the moment.  During the post-Christmas period sales and money spent on window installations appears to wane.  Here at D&G we seem to remember that we've seen these Dogs previously at one of their other stores (although we may be wrong as its not the kind of thing this brand does).  Anyway, different dog breeds used as props have been applied within their windows at their store along Bond street here in the centre of it all.

Rimowa, London

Rimowa have a bit of a Vegas-style lighting installation at their store along Bond street right now.  Huge illuminated arrows pointing towards the product is the scheme but other than that there really isn't anything else we can comment on.

Salvatore Ferragamo, London

Rocking the product-led scheme is Salvatore Ferragamo right now at their store along Bond street.  Based on the Gancini (think backwards horseshoe) the brand have launched a new monogram based collection which has been included across all of the latests seasons products.  Great to see that the brand have brought the design from the product and right into the store through their graphic promotion as well as including the head of the mannequin here.

Tiffany, London

It's nearly that time of the year again and Tiffany are very well ahead with their installation here in London.  We haven't yet spotted any other installations across town although we anticipate that windows will be filled with references to heart motifs very soon once they've shaken off the necessary evil of the Sale period.

Alexander McQueen, London

We were very excited to find that the new Alexander McQueen store has now opened in the site previously occupied by the DKNY brand along Bond street and some great opportunities lay ahead for some incredible visual merchandising schemes.  While we have only viewed this at night time we did manage to peak through the glass and see some incredible installations within the space although we will try and have a look around the interior some time soon.  In the meantime, if you happen to be on Bond street, do go in and have a look around at this exciting new space.

Hermes, London

Oh its so great to be back in London and seeing the latest schemes and just look at this one at Hermes.  We aren't quite sure what this one is about although we can spot some references to their heritage here with the inclusion of the plough although we haven't quite worked out the other 'bits' yet.

Fortnum and Mason, London

We're finally back in olde London town after a marathon 6 weeks of NYC windows.  We think we covered everything there which we could possibly find.  Here in London of course, Sale windows are still in force and quite unbelievably so are the remnants of some Christmas schemes.  However, Fortnum and Mason have embraced the new season with their new years resolutions across their run of windows and indeed  spreading a little joy.  We shall get out more, but drink responsibly?  Yeah, whatever.

Bulletin, New York

Bulletin is another amazing new concept which we came across on our travels around Williamsburg, and as the signage in the window says, a Store for Women by Women;  with every inch of space used to support and celebrate female voices and stocked with their favourite female-run brands.  Additionally a percentage of their profits also go to Planned Parenthood of NYC.  A worthy cause indeed.

Everlane, New York

Do you want to see less use of plastic?  Then look no further than this incredible brand here in New York,  Everlane.  With their ethically sourced products and links to charitable organisations this has to be the future of retail, perhaps?  With brands like this leading the way in persuading us to think rather more carefully about the products we purchase with the focus on longevity rather than fast fashion we sincerely hope that more brands adopt this kind of philosophy.  Do check out their website as the provide some really interesting information about how they work.

Allbirds, New York

If you haven't heard to Allbirds, the San Francisco-based start up then you really are missing a treat.  This store was rammed with customers when we visited so clearly hugely popular.  This direct to customer brand which specialises in environmentally friendly footwear are apparently the worlds most comfortable shoes.  While we weren't particularly taken by the designs of their footwear ourselves although the product was quite literally flying out of the doors of their site here along Spring street.
