Topshop, London

This might be the final scheme we see from this brand.  Very sad, we know.  With the current state of the world and everything seemingly spiralling out of control this really is a very sad turn of events.  We needn't go into the history of the brand as this is well documented and we won't begin biting at its owners (the history of this is also well documented) however many people have lost their jobs and its where we began our careers.  We can only hope that there is a solution on the horizon.

Topshop really have thier finger...or several we imagine....firmly on the pulse of what is happening out there and turn these schemes around super fast that its no wonder they are such a phenomenal brand.  Interestingly we are seeing a lot of tigers (possibly leopards too) being included in a lot of schemes and random references across town and various media so their is clearly a trend right now with their use - although we do need to track it back to the original source somehow.

London hasn't quite gone Royal Wedding mad although there are a few schemes out there which nod to the event over the weekend.  Here at Topshop with their strap line 'Rock and Royal' is one of our favourites out there and another corker from this mega fashion brand.

Topshop, Miami

This brand are certainly expanding across the world and of course always look so cool.  In celebration of the recent Gay Pride, a multi coloured confetti-style backdrop was installed in conjunction with the strapline "Happy Pride".  We're now leaving Miami for the coolness of Berlin in search of the latest installations from one of the most exciting and innovative cities of Europe.  Watch this space...!

We always feel that we have to rush to get this brands' schemes online as they change them so quickly that its often already yesterday news and of course we like to keep our entries here current.  For their latest scheme the team have used this fantastic neon back drop which still allows the passersby to see into and around the space beyond and glows beautifully across Oxford street here in the centre of it all.

If we dont include this brands' scheme now they will change it again within a swipe and it will be yesterdays news.  Whatever you think of the owner of this brand (we have our own thoughts on that one) we do have to give huge kudos to the team who implement these schemes as we know how hard they work.  Rocking the houndstooth and stripes and a kind of Urban Outfitters ostentatious poverty look with the wooden plinths in various sizes and applied graphics this brand as always is making a lot of noise at Oxford Circus; and so many mannequins too.

Glittering right across Oxford street, who could help not notice what Topshop are doing right now?  With their revolving mannequins on mirrored boxes this scheme is screaming across the high street and looks amazing too.  As still images simply don't communicate how effective this scheme is we have included a short video of it for you to appreciate and marvel at this installation.

With its interlocking structural forms in a multitude of colours, Topshop as always is rocking the high street.  Just look at the dramatic catwalk that they have created with their clever use of mannequins.  Simply stunning.

Rocking the repetition of radiating forms in a gravitational format together with the new Bonaveri collection of mannequins, Aloof, Topshop as always looks incredible and such fun. We thought we should include these guys as no doubt, not only due to the ephemeral nature of Visual Merchandising but also the super speed that the schemes here change, this will be gone very quickly.

We know that if we don't include this brands schemes when we see them then they will change them so fast that it will already be yesterdays scheme.  So here it is.  With their gravity defying mannequins, skate ramp-like catwalk highlighted with a hint of neon Topshop as always looks absolutely up to the moment.  We were particularly fascinated by the reflection that this scheme generated too.

Before we share the delights of the Big Apple with you we wanted to quickly squeeze in this amazing installation at Topshop right now here in the centre of it all.  We were huge fans of the installation by Neon which we included here a while ago; you may remember the giant colour wheel structure which was produced as part of the Regent street project in conjunction with RIBA?  Well, these guys have done it again.  Thankfully Topshop have the creative vision which supports these kinds of projects and which invigorate the high street making what we do ever more worthwhile.

Topshop, London

We've just thought that we should include the latest scheme at Topshop before they change it again.  How fast do these guys turn things around, eh?  We have of course seen the last few schemes but before ya know it they are onto the next one.  Superb of course and does what it says on the tin (or is it Tim?...;o)  Anyway, as always, fast fashion at its very best and this is what keeps this brand rocking the teenies of London and beyond.

Following on from H&M's festival theme, Topshop of course, with their fingers firmly on the pulse of what's going on out there (on every occasion) also have their perfectly timed festival theme in place.  These guys always look so fricking cool don't they and always seem to get it so damned right.

Topshop, London

WOW, have you seen the RIBA collaborations with retailers along here in London's west end yet?  We've been to see them all and this year they really are quite spectacular.  We will of course show you each one this week in more detail just in case you cant get there yourself and so we began with the now iconic Topshop store at Oxford Circus with their incredible colour wheel installation by the Architects Neon.  The wheel itself is moveable (although not by the passing footfall) and really does work so incredibly well, don't you think?  It does remind us of a potentially deleted and sugar coated scene from the film Hellraiser which makes it slightly more sinister, however, it is s refreshing to see these collaborations happening and produced so beautifully. 

Topshop, London

We always look at the key trends which are predicted to happen almost two years in advance through looking at some of the main trend agency sites, magazines and luxury brands and therefore seeing some of these trends again now feels slightly odd. We had forgotten momentarily that of course these 'things' take time to filter down to the high street brands and although a year later than we would have expected, here we have at least one of them.  Mondrian and references to Memphis are one of the main areas that we've tracked through over the past 12 months and of course Topshop always present these things with such wonderful style and creativity.

Topshop, London

The guys at Topshop always do such brilliant windows, don't you think?  Here we have a couple of images, one celebrating Wool Week in conjunction with the various other retailers around town but also their main Oxford Street windows (which we used to call window 9 back in the days that we spent in scorching heat dressing these ourselves - yes, just like a whole range of industry visual merchandisers, we worked here too, once).  But anyway, you've gotta love what these guys do and its no wonder there are queues out at the door almost daily.  Its fun, young and the envy of retailers around the globe.

This scheme at Topshop's flagship store in Oxford Circus nearly escaped our VM radar and we probably just managed to capture this in time.  Everyone has suddenly jumped into Sale, right after the Jubilee week and we guess cashing in before the next launch; the Olympics.  This period is a little like that post Christmas but Pre-New Year feel about it, but anyway, the international flags are up on Regent st. with promotions galore gathering at a furious pace.
