Ralph Lauren, London

We're currently absolutely fascinated by this new scheme at Ralph Lauren and have been trying to think what it reminds us of.  As always, the quality is superb although there is a strange lifelike feel to it where even the mannequins look as if they are real.  We think it is that kind of Museum diorama effect which we recognise here although obviously without the flea bitten stuffed animals and odd looking neanderthals.  This really is a beautifully produced scheme.

Liberty, London

Has every one in London lost their sense of humour?  Has everyone in Visual Merchandising forgotten how to be interesting, thought provoking or clever?  There is absolutely nothing, and we really mean N-O-T-H-I-N-G that is fun in retail store windows right now.  Even this brand used to win award after award for their window schemes but just look at this current one and you can see that they have lost the will to live.  Can we get a bit more energy in here please?

Burberry, London

It seems that every time we walk past the windows of this brand they've changed everything yet again and we're loving it.  There was a time when it was very fixed on the format of using the Burberry check as the inspiration for the windows but those days are thankfully long gone.  Whoever is looking after the schemes here we salute you.  Constantly amazing work.

Hackett, London

Besides the fact that this brand make menswear presentation look so interesting and so incredibly effortless (which takes a huge amount of skill) they also always look so incredibly fresh too, don't you think? The current scheme, as always is beautifully presented (which is synonymous with this brand) and has with a bit of Artist meets countryside vibe right now at their Regent street store.

Louis Vuitton, London

We have the mention right away that we did capture this scheme just before the Queen's Funeral earlier in the week and therefore the reason why there are real flowers in with the prop version although we actually really liked this.  The prop version naturally are gorgeous and quite spectacular in size when you get up close which makes them even more impressive.  This scheme has probably rolled out around the world by now so do go and have a look if you can.

Longchamp, London

There's a little bit of a nod in this scheme to a kind of Artist's studio complete with easels and stools although supported with some large format graphics.  This brands' store along Regent street has quite large window spaces as you can see from our images while their Bond street site has one smaller sized space.  The scheme, we imagine, possibly works better in a smaller space when every is rather more closely grouped together.

Dior, London

We always think there is something slightly odd about this store although this probably because they only have a two main windows and one tiny one.  The oddness which we are talking about is that the schemes for menswear and womenswear are usually so different and yet almost next to each other which slightly jars for us.  Anyway, that said beautiful schemes nonetheless.

ER II, London

It has been such a sad time over the past 10 days since the passing of our Queen, Elizabeth II.  However it has also been very touching to see so many retailers out there, some adding photographs although quite a few, such as Fortnum and Mason and Harvey Nichols, who have completely Blacked out all of their windows.  Truly remarkable and so respectful.  We have tried to capture as many of the schemes as we could - more on our instagram.

Harrods, London

These windows are possibly Blacked out at the moment in respect to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II and the pending funeral on Monday.  We did manage to capture this gorgeous scheme last week while many of the department stores had already applied Black vinyl to their windows.  In the meantime this what is behind the vinyl if this fabulous store has followed the same example.

Roger Vivier, London

During this period of mourning here in the UK it really is so refreshing to see brands like this bringing pure delight.  Shoes can be a difficult product to promote in an interesting way but this brand just seem to get it all so right.  We must add though that if you do want to go and have a look at this scheme then the Sloane street version is much bigger.

Salvatore Ferragamo, London

What a lovely scheme this is, isn't it.  We're guessing this is a bit of a nod to the brands heritage and / or specialism in footwear and accessories (given that apparently it generates 86% of their revenue).  Shoe lasts (the wooden bit used by cobblers and cordwainers) always look incredibly cool and in this case the brand had applied them in a radiating and repetition format.

Cox London, London

We're always on the look out for new places to include here and we came across this store which we suspect is an independent although in the very posh part of town.  We also couldn't work out whether the windows actually contain the product or if this was a very interesting installation.  The wonderful thing which captured us however are the shadows that it casts across the space at night time.

Tommy Hilfiger, London

This is rather a maximalist installation, don't you think?  We had initially thought that this might be a collaboration between Hilfiger and the Finish brand Marimekko although it transpires that it is in fact with Richard Quinn (London based print designer).  Anyway, do check out the Hilfiger website for this collection; It looks amazing and that they've all gone mad - but in a good way.
