Prada, London

We've said it many times, however, if you want to know how to use colour then look no further than Prada.  This brand just get it all so incredibly right don't they?  While this is quite a simple scheme, and we're not usually fans of a Graphic-led installation ourselves, we do have to say that this does look incredible.

We've been looking at the wonderful luxury brand stores along Sloane street here in the centre of it all.  Actually, if you are not familiar with this area, it is only a small parade of stores although of course they are all luxury brands.  You wont find any mid-range or value retailers here.  This brand looks fabulous at the moment.  They can be a little hit and miss with their visual merchandising but this installation looks amazing (although some very skinny mannequins).

This brand seem to go through phases of, on the one hand, some very creative windows, and then on the other, to ones which are very basic, albeit of course, sophisticated.  We're not fans of large format graphics as they are a cheap and quite a lazy option although at least this brand have the product actually worn in the graphics which is quite a find out there.  Hopefully there are more interesting schemes on the horizon.

For some reason we seem to be channeling a bit of a 007 / Bond vibe from this scheme at Prada.  We happened upon this brands latest installation and of course their seasonal offer along Sloane street here in the centre of it all.  Giant mirror balls with fur covered cut-outs, shimmering mirrored curtains and mirrored flooring is Prada right now.

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.

We have captured some very interesting schemes from this brand previously and we've never thought of them as a large format graphic-type company but here it is.  Its not really a true reflection of the amazing work that they do behind the scenes although we're guessing that perhaps due to the current circumstances that there was very little option.  Hopefully we will see their true innovation filtering through their windows again shortly.

We had a strange feeling that this was an old scheme from this brand although its actually a current one.  We suspect that the use of the logo which looks quite old now might have given us that impression.  Anyway, there's clearly a nod to the holiday period which actually is slightly rubbing salt in our wounds at the moment as we really cant go anywhere anyway without the risk of facing all of the shenanigans of getting back.   So, here's the latest scheme from this brand with a taste of what you are probably going to miss this year.  You're welcome.

This is rather a clinical look for this brand right now.  We have seen some very interesting uses of colour and occasionally some very sophisticated narratives however currently theres a kind of cosmetic department vibe happening here.  There's an interesting graphic in the top image with text which says Is Nature out there, or in here.  We're not entirely sure what this actually means and perhaps its just something lost in translation.  We doubt it knowing how sophisticated the brand are although we haven't yet been able to make a connection.

Our still images dont really do this scheme justice although we have also seen some really great versions of this installation across social media and we're not quite sure London got the best deal anyway.  Nevertheless, what a great way to nod to the season and show product too.

Probably not the most exciting scheme here at Prada at the moment although their current Tools of Memory campaign is quite interesting.  On 2nd October you could have the opportunity to bid for their products from the FW2020 collection.  Isn't this the same as buying straight from the catwalk which other brands offer anyway?  In the meantime do have a look at their website currently as they do have some amazing visuals online.

We're going to do what we can to keep going during this awful and strange period of time that we all now find ourselves in.  Thankfully we are usually out and about during the evening so trying our best to avoid the corona virus but as you will all know this is no easy task.  We have no idea how this will affect the visual industry and whether schemes will change as frequently as they usually do so we guess just watch this space.  In the meantime this brand is looking really great right now at their Sloane street store with a big nod to Spring and their large format Blossom graphic.

Just look at this colour here at Prada right now.  It seems that this use of block colours is a 'thing' at the moment as we've spotted it quite a lot around town.  We also include the amazing NYC store here recently where this colour had been applied throughout their space and if you are a regular follower you will probably remember how stunning it was.

We've nearly squeezed all we can out of this incredible city and will soon head back to London for the dreaded Sales.  Lets hope they've finished already.  We've always been big fans of this store by the super talented Rem Koolhaas and featured his Abu Dhabi Louvre several months ago.  This space is so wonderfully versatile and just look at this bright Yellow installation at their store.  Delicious stuff.

This is quite an interesting direction for this brand and quite different to what we normally see.  We are huge fans of what they do although there does appear to be a range of styles happening here which don't appear to be very consistent with the way they normally work.  Thats not to say that we would wish them to adopt an annual theme although actually this works really well for brands such as Hermes and even Anthropologie however the brand are looking slightly generic at the moment, dont you think?

This has to be one of favourite brands for the use of colour in their windows as they always get it so right.  Their website doesn't give much away although of course the floral scheme here is absolutely of the season.  There are some interesting three dimensional prop flowers included here also which we haven't quite worked out their purpose apart from, well being props.
