Diptyque, London

We cant imagine anyone not loving the product at this brand.  We are enormous fans of their stuff and purchase the odd bit (well it is rather pricey although worth every penny) now and again.  Anyway, this month we have mesh wall pasted paper fragments in pastel tones with cans dripping with paint surrounding their delicious products.  So effortlessly painfully cool its making us drool.

Mulberry, London

We haven't included this brand for a while and we love their latest offering of London signage, landmarks and signifiers of the city and beyond.  Unfortunately as with so many brands they have little by way of explanation of their schemes on their websites so we can only guess what this is about even if it is great to see.  Great 'Aloof' mannequins by Bonaveri of course.

Fenwick, London

Stunning colours are the highlight of this Blue and White polka dot installation at Fenwick right now.  Their 'Here I Am....' scheme looks incredibly bright, fun, filled with life and is leading us very nicely into SS 2015.  With their use of Symmetry, Asymmetry and the prolific pyramidal format this scheme is certainly the most fun on the high street right now.

Tiffany, London

Thankfully schemes are coming at us fast and furious at the moment and the dreaded Sale period is becoming a distant memory, well of sorts anyway.  Launching this week we have the fantastic installation at Tiffany.  How incredibly beautiful are these props?  Stunningly produced and immaculate this scheme is definitely a winner for us.

Paul Smith, London

We always drool when we walk passed this store on Albemarle street, although not because of the fashion but for its fascinating furniture and curiosities.  We were not quite sure what the structures above are but they were spinning furiously even at night time.

Brunello Cucinelli, London

We pass these windows on a fairly regular a basis but don't actually know anything about this brand at all.  We decided that we couldn't passively accept this and decided to dig just a little deeper into this mysterious company and its heritage .  It is fascinating.  From schools, theatre and a foundation it makes for quite remarkable reading.  Check out their website as it really is quite an elusive yet very grounded brand who clearly care about legacy and the minutiae of detail and craftsmanship.

Prada, London

Beyond being beautifully produced there isn't much more to say about this scheme.  Is that a good thing?  Maybe its just that time of year which always has a hint of austerity about it but that's all we have.

Stella McCartney, London

We don't often like the schemes (not that is matters anyway) at this brand but thankfully they have thrown us a life line and a welcomed break from a sea of Red Sale schemes.  OK, well its a little reminiscent of a tanning salon machine although anything right now to lift our interest is a relief.

J Crew, London

We were rather impressed with this scheme.  Why?  We hear you ask.  Well this is certainly one of the better Sale schemes from a global multiple that we have seen with a bit of humour and a smidgen of fun.  A giant 2015 with multiple 3d specs in a repetition format.   Those bust forms though.

Dover Street Market, London

We always dread this time of year as it is such a struggle usually to find very much which is exciting in retail store windows.  Yes, we're back in London after a few weeks stateside, jet lagged, and have already been out to scour the city for the latest schemes.  Unfortunately most retailers have simply either covered up their Christmas schemes and added a vinyl Sale graphic or actually kept them with a Sale image on the fenestration.  Still, we have noticed that some schemes are starting to be removed so fingers crossed we will be able to show you the latest innovative schemes for the new season shortly.  Thankfully, even Sale at Dover Street Market is an Art Installation, well it would be wouldn't it.  And great fun it is too.  We can make out all sorts of stuff here from Teddy Bears to vacuum cleaners all wrapped in Red and White tape.  How simply is this and yet really punches the Sale message.

Converse, New York

If you haven't seen the latest installation at Converse here in New York, then here it is in all is Skull glory.  Most of you are probably familiar with the American flag made up of the product (image below) but this one was a new one to us.  The rest of the store hasn't changed much since our last visit but this installation is quite amazing and brilliant fun.

Universal Display, New York

Creating the ultimate retail experience right now is Universal Display.  We included an entry about their iconome a while ago when it was launched and we are still enormously impressed with the work that these guys are doing in order to push those boundaries forward.  Technology will continue to be enormous as we move through 2015 and if you need a mannequin that uses this then this is the one company to look for.  Download the app, scan for looks and explore.  Simple.  Check them out at  http://www.universaldisplay.co.uk/

Genesis Mannequins, New York

In 2014 Marvel Comics celebrated their 75th Anniversary and in recognition of this those lovely guys at Genesis have styled their showroom with a great big nod to their famous cartoons.  There is so much humour in their installations with references to the Super heroes of Fashion dressed in runway looks and costumes which we really adore and in particular the Anna Wintour on a catwalk raised a good old chuckle,.  If you like a bit of retro then do try and get along to their showroom 151West 25th Street, 4th Floor (by appointment)
