Fendi, London

While we are not big on their fur collections (does anyone really need to wear fur anymore?) the colours used in their products and installations are quite superb;  right up there with Prada who really do seem to understand colour and colour combinations so deliciously.  We are trying to make connections with this installation and their latest collections which is proving no easy task so we can only guess we're afraid, however with their fantastic background, superb product and mirrored floor the latest scheme is making quite an impact along Bond street right now.

Coach, London

We're not massive fans of the Varsity look ourselves (thankfully Jack Wills dropped it some time ago) but the props here which surround the product are superbly produced.  The AW16 campaign is very clear on this brands website so its easy to make connections between what we see here in their windows and their on line presence and certainly captures the eclectic spirit of New York but more importantly links perfectly to this London context.

Moncler, London

Moncler is a gift of a brand that just keeps giving.  As always, superb props at their Bond street store and this month mannequins strategically positioned across a giant cow bell complete with (we guess) an illuminated Austrian montainscape.

Stradivarius, London

We haven't looked at this brand for a while although they have been producing some cool schemes.  We were particularly drawn in by the Pink of the wigs and the gallery style backdrop and although they have a relatively small window space they do manage to generate an impressive impact on this side of Oxford street.

London Fashion Week has descended on London yet again and if you haven't seen the latest exciting collaboration between www.millingtonassociates.com and Bally then here's a snapshot for you. Staging their amazing AW16 collection the latest scheme consists of a checkerboard carpet and a heavy velvet curtain held back with a brass plated frame.  The men's accessories collection has been complemented by a smoked mirror and brushed brass plinth while the women's collection has a wonderful zing of Pink and Green with Brass details. Do go and check the store if you can as these things are so much more appreciated in the 'flesh'.

Scotch and Soda, London

Great to see some really good installation work at this brand and a massive effort at their store along Carnaby street.  A tidal wave of paper has been installed to the side of the mannequins in this scheme and while we dont actually know what this scheme is all about a bit of theatre at a multiple is always appreciated.

We cant help but love this aesthetic and the tones here work perfectly for the months ahead.  Bust forms have been suspended in a gravitational format from these extendable metal structures with a kind of woven structure forming the backdrop.  Artisan stools have also been placed in a repetition format onto which have been placed beautiful footwear.  Do swing by this specialty retailer and take a closer look at this scheme if you can (at their Oxford street store) as it really does look quite delicious.  Additionally, want to see bigger images then follow us on twitter and you will be able to see these in more detail.

Debenhams, London

This is a very colourful installation at Debenhams right now with their 'A Match Made in Debenhams' strap line.  A multitude of coloured concertinaed paper fills these enormous window spaces at their Oxford street store with suspended coloured fluorescent lighting and bird house head mannequins

Topman, London

Topman are rocking a kind of Mondrian meets Michael Jackson's Billie Jean video right now with their repetition of rectangular forms of various colours and white flooring.  Other than that there isn't much more to comment on here although great to see this brand looking so masculine and appealing to their market so well as usual.

Fenwick, London

Clearly with their finger firmly on the culture pulse, Fenwick have tapped in to the latest fantastic offering at the amazing V&A and their latest exhibition; You Say you want a Revolution? Records and labels 1966 - 1970.  If you have walked around town as we so often do then you may have also spotted that Levis has also linked in to the same exhibition as have stores along Carnaby street.  With such icon images of Twiggy, Bowie and so many others, we do love a good period of reflection here in the UK it seems and heaps of nostalgia thrown in too.

Moschino, London

This is a simple yet fun scheme at Moschino right now.  We have seen different versions through social media of this latest promotion and the London one is comparatively very cool.  Other than mannequins emerging from a 'Bear suit' and one straddling the giant head there isn't much more to say about it, although the scheme does pack a punch at their store along Conduit street.
