Hackett, London

We've had a tough job this week trying to find the latest creative schemes and we have to confess that it has been a bit of a frenzy.  The curse of Sale is everywhere right now so the whole city is painted in Red, but not here thankfully.  Those boys at Hackett, who clearly have far too much fun have referenced Hitchcock's 1959 film North by Northwest in their Sale scheme with this absolutely incredible plane complete with corn field and vinyl graphic; how fantastic is this little gem?  The props here are produced to perfection and every dynamic in the book has been considered.  Without a Shadow of a doubt, these guys are clear leaders right now in the creativity stakes and such a pleasure to view.  Even if you are not based here in London's West End you must go and see this scheme. We are Spellbound.

Rinascente, Milan

We do love to see great quality schemes coming out of other cities around the world and this one by Sovrappensiero  Design studio for Serapian at the Rinascente department store in Milan is look rather cool, fresh and crisp, don't you think?  Many thanks guys for sharing this with us.

Replay, London

Like a caged animal the product at Replay is looking like its rather hanging on to dear life, don't you think?  These guys are quietly going about their business doing what they do and actually doing some interesting stuff.  Its Sale time here in London so not huge amounts the report.......or is there?  We have seen some corkers out there so will share with you very soon.

Jack Wills, London

We are not huge fans of Jack Wills as a brand but they do come up some interesting schemes now and again.  We did think to ourselves 'oh gawd not the stacked suitcases again' as we saw these all the way throughout 2011 - 12 although these printed ones do actually look rather cool.  OK, well we wish they hadn't used them but hopefully this is the last we will see of them (the suitcases not the brand) until the cycle comes back around again.

Charlotte Tilbury @ Selfridges

Have you seen the Charlotte Tilbury make-up house of Rock 'n' Kohl at Selfridges yet?   These fantastic windows are part of the overall temporary installation at Selfridges along Orchard st and you only have a few days left before they go so we thought we would share them with you just in case you are tied up in the office today and we know how manic Saturdays can be shopping in the West End, right?  Anyway, these amazing Red lips have been made from lipstick bullets and the eye has been created using eyebrow pencils cut to various lengths.  We cant help but love this installation and if you do manage to get out today then do go and have a look.  Stunning.

Burberry, London

Burberry is  rocking right now don't you think?  With these amazing lenticulars this brand is looking so amazingly hot that we feel compelled to show you what they are doing.  Our eyes were a little mesmerised by these little pups but wow they look good.  Of course the 'minor' featured in the metallic merchandise campaign still haunts us a little but thankfully they appear to have dropped the little s**t (suit) and its apparently press hungry pushy parents who clearly define their lives by what is written about them; desperately sad really but we guess it pays the rent and we know you wont tell them, will you?  But anyway, this brand is looking fantastic.

Miu Miu, London

Apparently there is no such thing as taste; taste is merely personal preference.  Well, that said our personal preference has clearly not been in tune with what this brand produces for their window schemes.  But not this one however.  Are we becoming immune to the vulgarity that some of these brands produce?  We don't know, but we really love this little gem, and particularly the foamy chaises (or is it chaisi? Who knows?)  Looking rather more like Prada (no surprise there then) these days this scheme is a bit of a corker, don't you think?  

VM and Display Awards 2013

Its that time of year again when the VM and Display industry will descend upon the Grand Connaught rooms here in London on the 25th October, 2013 to celebrate the very best in Visual Merchandising and Display.  The Awards evening is a truly spectacular event and a fantastic sell out.  So, ensure that you book your place to avoid disappointment...!

H&M, London

So cool it fricking hurts, doesn't it?  The guys at H&M change their schemes quicker than we can, well, change other stuff and we love it, particularly when they change what they do and do it so bleedin' well. These guys are on fire and we cant help but envy their energy.  Lets not under estimate however how hard these guys have to work to ensure that they bring us the latest and greatest in windows and these window changes are incredibly hard work to do.  Well done guys and thank you for sharing your apparently endless energy and we do hope that your head office guys and in particular the dull old finance department appreciate what you do (they probably don't.....actually we know that finance departments never do but want to be a part of it all anyway because they would like to be cool but never are; but don't say we said so).  Fantastic stuff and kudos to the guys who implemented the latest scheme at Oxford Circus.

Karen Millen, London

We recently included this brand (possibly for the first time ever) when they collaborated with RIBA and the Regent street project which of course was superb.  Anyway, since then it appears that the success of those amazing windows has kick started the brand into doing something a little less ordinary and and wow look at this scheme.  OK, well its not ground breaking but it is an effort and that is very much appreciated.

Liberty, London

Liberty's always so perfectly delivered schemes are never a disappointment and this one is no exception.  Their curatorial approach to product handling is always so superbly produced and sprinkled with a bit of fun and irony.  Delicious.

Smythson, London

This is a very crisp scheme here at Smythson don't you think?  We've passed by here several times and find ourselves licking the windows at the stunning merchandise too.  Everything perfectly placed and communicating the luxury of this brand so perfectly.

Topshop, London

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.
