This brands' store in New York, while small in size always looks so incredible at this time of year. In fact, we actually included one of their schemes in the latest edition of our book.  This store however does appear rather unloved and in need of some much needed VM tlc, don't you think?  Sale time is never a good look for any store although we did actually capture this before the holidays so we would have thought that perhaps a more polished scheme might be in place.  To be fair though, like just every other retailer out there on the high street they have probably had a rough time this year so perhaps we shouldnt be so harsh?

We've never been big fans of these kinds of brands although this one has previously produced some really great schemes.  Well, at least at their New York store.   We do appreciate the notion of Sexy although there is a rather fine line between that and tacky and while we don't wish to be mean about this scheme which is rather lacking visually apart from a digital screen it does appear to perhaps be targeting the lower end of the market with a whiff of the Red light district of Amsterdam.   Perhaps thats what they what?  Who knows?  If so, well job well done then.

It is always worth at least taking a glance at this store just off Bond street here in the centre of town although what the brand do is not something which appeals to us personally.  We are not the target audience after all.  Anyway, in their typical provocative style, the brand have implemented their usual style of scheme complete with the strap line, "Welcome to our world".  Hmm, thanks but we will pass on that one.

We're never quite sure how we feel about this brands' installations as they seem to belong to a long gone period in history.  Think Benny Hill.  We have no doubt that the product is a quality one although these kind of innuendo-style windows just don't seem to reflect modern society.  It may be a case that they do reflect their target audience but for some of us at least, well, we moved on 20 years ago.

We've been trying to dodge the usual Valentine's day promotions as they're not a favourite of ours although of course its quite difficult not to include at least a few at this time of year.  While known for their provocative installations, this one is actually quite mild by comparison with their neon heart, giant polaroids and usual minimally dressed mannequin.

This brand are no strangers to producing provocative schemes although we did feel, given the current climate that perhaps this was not the best choice to install right now?  Of course, these things are planned so well in advance that no-one could have guessed that something which was perhaps meant to be sexy and fun is rather lacking in taste.  That said perhaps they were trying to generate their own shocking headlines (we haven't actually seen any regarding this scheme) but things can ever so easily backfire so we guess they will may need to be prepared to defend it should the moment come.  Watch this space we guess.

It has been ages since we looked at the windows here so here's a cheeky installation with which to begin your weekend.  As ever this brand like to provoke just a little with their sexualised schemes and this one is no exception.  With a precariously balanced mannequin on top of a motorbike complete with crash helmet and dollar bills suggestively tucked into her stockings this scheme might raise a few perfectly manicured eyebrows although it is a bit of harmless fun and great to see some bold statements in retail store windows.  A bit breezy though.

If you ever struggle with what to wear to the supermarket then worry no longer.  Those cheeky guys at Agent Provocateur have the answer for you.  A little drafty perhaps, but what the hell, go for it, we're sure no-one will even blink an eye.

That looks cold?  All Dolled up for the Hollidays at Agent Provocateur. London.  Mannequin in her lingerie.

If you're not yet entirely sure what you are going to do for your Valentine's celebrations, then why not have 'Adventures in Lingerie'? We can't imagine ourselves slipping into these little 'scratchy' numbers at our local Supermarket petrol station somehow, although stranger things have happened.  Its a shame that these mannequins look a little disheveled, 'done' or 'had' as this always appears to be such a glamorous brand and the 'two hookers holding a petrol (or gas if you are reading this stateside) pump nozzle in such a suggestive way makes these mannequins in this scenario appear more 'up for it' rather than sexy.  Maybe its someones fantasy, just not ours.  If ya know wha' we mean...;o)
