Richard James, London

We completely missed this window scheme at Richard James which must have been installed during the Queens Jubilee.  Anyway, better late than never, so here it is in all its neon glory.

Berluti, London

We keep checking back at Berluti on Conduit st. here in London to see what these guys are doing.  These are very difficult windows to work with and therefore there is always the danger and mistake that brands make, i.e. to do absolutely nothing.  However, these guys always make an effort and we want to see more and more.  

Godiva, London

We saw the guys installing this scheme recently at Godiva.  It was however,  strangely after the Jubilee for some reason although the references are more 'London' anyway so we guess it still works OK?  If you look closely the 'grassy' crowns are actually on the outside and inside of the fenestration which is always great to view.  We're beginning to see more an more Olympic based schemes now so we will be  showing these very soon.

Olympics, London

If you happen to be swinging by Liverpool street then do pop in and have a look at the latest graduates at Free range just by Brick lane.  We visited last night for the Private View, although it was a little manic and rather overwhelming.  Anyway, we spotted the above which appears to be the top of the NatWest Tower?  Is that right?  Everything is heating up here, finally as London prepares for the Olympic games so hopefully you have tickets.  If you do happen to have a couple of tickets for the opening or closing ceremonies please do let us know (we're part of the annoyed London majority who couldn't get tickets because of the scandalous way sales have been managed; An enquiry into why of course wont happen until after the games have finished - just great, eh?

Chayan Khoi, London

We love to find new things while flaneur-ing the city and here along Conduit street is the Chayan Khoi exhibition which has taken over the redundant space opposite the Issey Miyake store.  Anyway, we while we know nothing about this artist we were rather drawn in by their scrap books placed on the floor of the window space here.  If you happen to pass by, do go and take a closer look as they really are quite fascinating.

If you happen to be in Athens, Greece soon then do go and check out the latest scheme at Reebok.  We cant remember when we saw a Reebok store last (are there any others?) so this is quite a treat.  Produced by Onoma Architects, which are a Design agency based in the capital the team here have produced a scheme based on 'Crossfit' the latest innovative footwear from Reebok.  Anyway, we do love the neon skipping rope in particular which has been used in such an innovative way and great to see some wonderful creativity coming out of this country.

Moschino, London

We rarely say nice things about what this brand do visually; some of it is perhaps justified?  Anyway, while this scheme is not the most revolutionary one that we have ever seen it is actually one of their better ones, don't you think?  (We promised one of the team that we would say something nice about what they do)

Tommy Hilfiger, London

Finally, we are beginning to see some creative schemes emerging from the Sale season.  Here at Hilfiger the team here have installed these enormous rotating globes in celebration of the Olympics.  This is one of the first ones we've seen so far, so fingers crossed that more will emerge soon.

Carnaby Street, London

Well, as we continue to struggle to find interesting schemes around town during Sale time we are showing you one of the other current installations along Carnaby st.   A huge glittery Union flag.  Not very revolutionary but works well from a distance. 

Carnaby Street, London

With the Olympics happening very soon here in London; we can almost taste it.  With this in mind Carnaby Street is welcoming the world with its enormous suspended globe.  Hello world.

DnA Factory, London

You may have seen our recent post on the old style telephone boxes around town right now which will be auctioned in aid of Child line.   This week on a visit to view the delights of Spitalfields we came across our favourite South London artists The DnA Factory's contribution to this vital charity.   Incredible, eh?

Creative 'Sale' schemes are always quite difficult to find and therefore its always very refreshing to come across some interesting ones wherever we find ourselves.  Here at T.M. Lewin we have references to the various events happening here with the use of the Union flag and an interesting combination of 2 and 3-D letter form. 

Prada, London

Great colours at Prada, don't you think?  We loved the nostalgic theme of the previous scheme which was installed for the past few months and as always even in its simplicity this scheme is rather beautiful.  OK, well its just steps, but these guys always just get everything so right.
