Patek Philippe, London

We only realised that there were figures incorporated into this scheme when we photographed it.  These wonderful organic forms in stunning colours is the scheme at Patek Philippe right now.  OK, its not quite the same without the product in it although as we have to capture schemes when daylight fades to avoid reflection on the glass and the cost of the merchandise in an area which is like a ghost town at night time it is quite understandable.  Still, another beautiful scheme from this premium brand.

D-squared, London

It looks like AW17 is already here and we are barely passed June.  We did slightly wince, buttock clench, suck in our cheeks, purse our lips (oh you get the idea) when we saw this scheme.  As regular readers will know as we are rather tired with Silver Birches in window schemes; it always works well of course and thats not to say this scheme is terrible, but this type of scheme just keeps on popping up and we just need to move on.

Bulgari, London

Bulgari dont tend to change their windows often although when they do they are of course (as one would expect) beautifully produced.  We're not entirely sure what they are alluding too although given the season and some of the props, we are guessing travel.  In beautiful shades the illustrative backdrop is punctuated with these showcases containing their product.  Thankfully there are some interesting schemes out there which lift the spirit in these worrying times.

Salvatore Ferragamo, London

Thankfully there are still some brands out there putting the 'Art' back into windows and Salvatore Ferragamo have got rid of their generic window fixtures and injected some much needed interest into their schemes.  Mannequins used as props and covered in the same design as the backdrop in Black and White against White with Black.  Given that the rents on this street have sky rocketed its quite amazing that these brands can even maintain a presence here.  We are thankful that they still do.

Moncler, London

The props at Moncler are always so superb, aren't they?  Thankfully, while most mid-range brands are in Sale right now (and therefore we have nothing to show you on that front) we can of course rely on luxury brands to give us what we look for.  With their space themed installation and these amazing little spacemen dangling from chrome hoops in a gravitational format it is a relief that at least some brands are putting some energy into their window schemes.

Ralph Lauren, London

This time of year and this promotion seems to whip around quicker and quicker.  With their faux greenery and obligatory tennis balls RL is looking particularly seasonal right now.  We haven't spotted any other Wimbledon references around town yet which is slightly unusual as this follows the (slightly) obligatory retail calendar but then we are in unusual times and perhaps everyone is ditching the norm and just doing whatever they need to do to keep going?

Somerset House, London

If you think you know your fragrances then this is the place for you.  A visit to Somerset House is always on the agenda and their latest offering, 'PERFUME, a sensory journey through contemporary scent' is a must do experience.  The olfactory senses are so often overlooked in their use (beyond cosmetic departments) in contemporary commercial environments and yet can add such an interesting dimension to the customer experience.  This 'multi-sensory exhibition focuses on ten extraordinary perfumes and their pioneering creators' and is well work a visit.   Trying to identify the scents is a lot harder than you might imagine.  So, go on, go and have a good sniff.

We only seem to get to Dusselfdorf every few years for Euroshop and yet there are clearly some real gems to be seen in this Western German city.  Who knew this brand were here too and with this graphic-led installation from www.nicolametzger.com in conjunction with Wayne Drummond, Julian Daynov, Tim Bauer, Stefanie Hohn, Markus Heuser, Kerstin Cador, Dorothee Wiere and Denise Vieregge.  This scheme is certainly making quite an impact here.

Graduate Shows, London

We're touring the graduate shows over the next few weeks as and when they launch and here at Chelsea College of Art the Textile, Fine Art and Interior Design students are rocking the north side of the river with their shows.  Just look at the innovation here, only really truly seen when experienced and we are absolutely stacked to the rafters with inspiration for future window schemes.  Well done to these guys for an amazing show in an incredible space next to the Tate Britain.

This is a delicious store if ever there was one.  In conjunction with www.studioxag.com the brand have recently launched their Y-3 Pure Boost sneakers at their Milan store.  The industrial feel to this store is superb and with the repetition of these Black spherical forms with hints of product this is one place we would love to go see and experience right now.  If you are in Milan any time soon then this is definitely worth checking out.

Free Range, London

There's nothing better than getting out, refreshing the mind and viewing new inspiration.  If you have never been, didn't know about it, or never thought to visit then dropping by Free Range should be on your list.  There currently appears to be a very strange vibe out on the high street right now; so little is happening for us to include here (of much interest anyway) so we thought we would look beyond the periphery and see what we could include which might inspire, inform or at least spark some interest.  Here students from University of Goldsmiths show there stuff and if you register with Free Range and get out of the office for a bit you will find this worthwhile.
