We never really liked what this brand did with their windows as they really did look very poorly executed for a very long time.  Not any more though and just look at yet another great installation.  The product has always been superb although they used to use mannequins with very tiny heads for a long time and while the high Black gloss is a bit of a go-to for luxury brands, the poses look great and the groupings demonstrate that whoever installed this knows what they are doing.

This brand really is looking as chic as it should right now, don't you think?  We've followed them over the years and at times they looked shockingly terrible but over the last few years someone here has pulled in the reins, gripped it by the throat and sent it on a creative direction. Looking supremely superb right now.

It is quite difficult to know what to say about this scheme as there is so little of it.  It almost appears as if the brand have moved out.  This is however an interesting strategy and they have included so few products in this scheme and just a few mannequins albeit beautifully dressed.  There is one small detail which is the very light markings on the walls and floors which appear to be a nod to the craftsmanship and stitching of the product perhaps?

After spending years and years with terrible window schemes and horrible mannequins, this brand is rocking again.  OK, well, we know the product was superb, obviously, but the window schemes always looked so incredibly unloved which is so odd for such a luxurious brand.  Whoever is looking after this brands' retail store windows is doing a brilliant job although we can of course only mention the London, Bond Street store.

We rarely look at the windows at this brand and feel that wow factor although this scheme even in its simplicity is actually very effective.  It looks like someone has just joined the team and knows exactly where to take the windows schemes (well possibly anyway).  We don't know what the influence is here although we're guessing this scheme has been inspired by the work of an Artist?

This is a very simple scheme for this brand and perhaps given the time of year, it's not beneficial to have anything more lavish?  We weren't quite sure what to make of this installation other than it appears to have structures which remind us of mattresses as a backdrop (or is that just us?).  Other than that there isn't a lot more to mention unfortunately.

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.

What on earth is there to say about this scheme?  Beyond a kind of blank canvas-type scenario there isn't a lot here is there.  There is of course a wonderful simplicity to the scheme but the best bit is the hint of reflection of the LV scheme across the street which we will share with you shortly.

This is such a nice scheme from this brand which at first glance appear quite simple but are also, no doubt took-a-lot-of-work kind of windows.  We love the illuminated panels at the back of the windows which have a sort of laser cut / lace-like look to them.  We have probably mentioned previously how this brand used to look so terrible but clearly not any more and gone (at least for now) are those horrible pin headed mannequins.  There is a VM God after all.

We've been following this brand for many years and we have to say it, this brand is looking good right now.  There have been many years where it looked so incredibly unloved (in their Visual presentation), in fact you can see some of the previous years' entries here and track through how they have transformed themselves.  Thankfully, at least for now, those horrible pin head mannequins have gone and a more generic / abstract headed figure has been used.  Relief.

As you can see, it was no easy task capturing this scheme with the might of Louis Vuitton across the road and their giant digital screens in the reflection of the glass here at Chanel.  You can however hopefully see that the brand have installed a large format graphic broken down in to smaller banners in a gravitational format which forms the backdrop to the product.

There have been some very interesting schemes at this store earlier in the year but as we have mentioned on several occasions already, as we emerge, in some way at least, from the devastation of this pandemic so many window schemes are looking a little shabby, although not this one of course.  However, we cant help feeling that there isn't the usual energy in this scheme which we have seen previously but in time we're sure it will bounce back with vigour over the next few months.

Wow, this brand are looking so good right now.  After years and years in the Visual Merchandising wilderness someone somewhere has clearly got hold of the brand and given it a good shake.  Gone are those horrible pin headed mannequins that always looked so odd in their clothing with a huge dose of visual love and there you go.  A slick and interesting scheme for a brand which deserved it.

This is a super cool scheme at Chanel right now (Sloane street store).  We visited their Bond street store which looks equally amazing although the bright lights from Louis Vuitton create such glare on the Chanel scheme across the road that we had to discard the images.  With what appears to be a giant mood board of torn paper complete with the Chanel name, naturally, and small reveals across one of their windows this brand is looking so incredibly young and cool right now and we love it.
