Valentino, London

You really do have to experience the beauty of this colour in real life rather than an image as it glows across the street here in Knightsbridge.  While this brand is not normally associated with great Visual Merchandising (it just doesn't seem to be their thing) they have in this case at least added one prop but the bright Pink products with the Bright Pink background looks magnificent.

This brand don't tend to do much in the way of Visual Merchandising in their stores sadly which is perhaps rather a missed opportunity although thats the way it is.  We did love this little bit that they have installed at their Bond street store however with their gorgeous Red neon against the Red backdrop.  It did take us some time to work out what the lettering said however and it was a flip-of-a-coin scenario initially between Alone and A Love until we realised that it actually says Alcove, referring of course to their Rockstud Alcove bag featured in the window.

Sadly this brand never really add huge elements of Visual Merchandising to their windows although there are usually some interesting subtleties which are worth noting such as the details on the bust forms' fabric which matches the product as well as the partial backdrop to the scheme.

Blimey, we've only just got through Christmas and Sale schemes are just about everywhere and Valentino have already launched into Valentines.  Thankfully, however this gives us something to share with you beyond the sea of Red of the dreaded Sale period.

Scaffolding in various finishes seems to be popular across a few luxury brands at the moment and this one in wood is an interesting juxtaposition to the superb and delicate quality of the product.  We were however particularly interested in the mannequins here with their beautiful wooden finished articulated arms and head, all wonderfully tonal.

We were quite excited to see that Valentino has opened a brand new store along Bond street recently and have been waiting to see what they would do.  This brand don't tend to produce the most interesting visual merchandising unfortunately (apart from Christmas schemes) although this Graphic led scheme does make quite an impact within the relatively small window space they have at this new site.

Valentino, New York

We've seen this scheme across several stores around the world and we do have to mention that at the brands (although they probably prefer to be called a signature) store along 5th Avenue it does look rather impressive.  The scale of this installation (obviously the lyrics to White Christmas) at their Maison / Mansion / Epicenter or whatever they call their flagship store dwarfs the passersby with its enormous White neon music score.  One of the simpler schemes here in NYC although strangely beautiful.

While this is beautiful merchandise which has been so superbly produced, there isn't a scheme to mention.  OK, well we have repetition of Mannequins all perfectly placed but beyond that there's not much else to say?

Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love.....really?  We do like a bit of neon and in conjunction with their new look of course Valentino is looking very hot right now.  If you haven't seen their NYC store along 5th avenue then it is definitely a must see for your list, although in the meantime pop along to Sloane street here in the centre of it all and at least give yourself a little taster.  While of course the artisan quality of their product is absolutely superb, the brand itself always looked rather dated.  But not anymore.  Someone has injected new life into the brand and its looking so good on every front.  Now, repeat, I am a strong and confident woman and I have the eyes of a woman in love.......

Valentino, Monte Carlo

We always find ourselves slightly unnerved by this brand.  We really, really want to love it and we feel that we should, but we can only barely bring ourselves to glance at it occasionally.  Of course, here in the land of the vulgar, brands like this reign supreme.  Fabulous cars, fabulous yachts, fabulous homes and they all shop at brands like this (we know because the locals are wearing this stuff).  Got a spare 2.5 million Euro?  Then why not bag yourself a fabulous tiny broom cupboard sized studio apartment while you are here? 

Valentino, Dubai

We're not entirely sure why, but Valentino never seem to do anything very interesting in their windows.  We've seen these stores the world over and every single store simply has the product displayed quite simply.  Of course Valentino is master absolute of the fashion biz, so we guess its a case of why try and gild the lily?

Valentino, London

I love this idea displayed in Valentino's windows at the moment. It consists of a series of four boxes which have at the centre a type of sand blasted effect material which hides the product. Each one illuminates alternately revealing the product behind (handbags) It is very difficult to see this from a 'still' and in day light, however in the video below I think it really does begin to become alive. In the evening when there is less reflection on the glass it does look particularly exceptional.
