Ralph Lauren, London

This time of year and this promotion seems to whip around quicker and quicker.  With their faux greenery and obligatory tennis balls RL is looking particularly seasonal right now.  We haven't spotted any other Wimbledon references around town yet which is slightly unusual as this follows the (slightly) obligatory retail calendar but then we are in unusual times and perhaps everyone is ditching the norm and just doing whatever they need to do to keep going?

Somerset House, London

If you think you know your fragrances then this is the place for you.  A visit to Somerset House is always on the agenda and their latest offering, 'PERFUME, a sensory journey through contemporary scent' is a must do experience.  The olfactory senses are so often overlooked in their use (beyond cosmetic departments) in contemporary commercial environments and yet can add such an interesting dimension to the customer experience.  This 'multi-sensory exhibition focuses on ten extraordinary perfumes and their pioneering creators' and is well work a visit.   Trying to identify the scents is a lot harder than you might imagine.  So, go on, go and have a good sniff.

We only seem to get to Dusselfdorf every few years for Euroshop and yet there are clearly some real gems to be seen in this Western German city.  Who knew this brand were here too and with this graphic-led installation from www.nicolametzger.com in conjunction with Wayne Drummond, Julian Daynov, Tim Bauer, Stefanie Hohn, Markus Heuser, Kerstin Cador, Dorothee Wiere and Denise Vieregge.  This scheme is certainly making quite an impact here.

Graduate Shows, London

We're touring the graduate shows over the next few weeks as and when they launch and here at Chelsea College of Art the Textile, Fine Art and Interior Design students are rocking the north side of the river with their shows.  Just look at the innovation here, only really truly seen when experienced and we are absolutely stacked to the rafters with inspiration for future window schemes.  Well done to these guys for an amazing show in an incredible space next to the Tate Britain.

This is a delicious store if ever there was one.  In conjunction with www.studioxag.com the brand have recently launched their Y-3 Pure Boost sneakers at their Milan store.  The industrial feel to this store is superb and with the repetition of these Black spherical forms with hints of product this is one place we would love to go see and experience right now.  If you are in Milan any time soon then this is definitely worth checking out.

Free Range, London

There's nothing better than getting out, refreshing the mind and viewing new inspiration.  If you have never been, didn't know about it, or never thought to visit then dropping by Free Range should be on your list.  There currently appears to be a very strange vibe out on the high street right now; so little is happening for us to include here (of much interest anyway) so we thought we would look beyond the periphery and see what we could include which might inspire, inform or at least spark some interest.  Here students from University of Goldsmiths show there stuff and if you register with Free Range and get out of the office for a bit you will find this worthwhile.

Rootstein, London

Thank goodness Roostein are still around to add some much needed glamour, escapism and joy into life while we are in these troubled times here in the UK.  With the launch of their new figures Bag Lady and Sophie the fantastic team held an amazing event last week as only these guys know how to do.  As they continue to rise like a Phoenix we will keep you posted as they add new figures to their already amazing portfolio.

Lassco, London

Lassco is just one of those places we have to go and visit from time to time to cleanse the soul.  Teetering on the edge of Vauxhall and what used to be the boundary of London, the history of this place is fascinating from its former life as Brunswick House dating back (we believe) to the 1700's, a squat and various incarnations this is an amazing place to see even in its faded glory.  While not strictly Visual Merchandising or retail store windows these kinds of places help to inspire, inform and are great places to find those amazing pieces for exciting commercial environments.  The products are a little on the pricey side although if you cant buy anything then visit the fantastic restaurant.  What we like most about this place is that this old building stands so defiantly against the horrible new builds behind it.

Diptyque, London

The latest product from Diptyque is an interesting one.  Launching their Le Sablier collection in enticing fragrances such as Fig Tree, Orange blossom, Ginger or Roses their latest product is an hourglass diffuser which is filled and turned to begin the diffusing process.  The products here are in a repetition format with the rotating illuminated discs in the backdrop.  Beautiful pieces and do check out their website too to see these products in more detail.

Kate Spade, London

Its that Summer Sale time....yay......yes already, although at least Kate Spade have made an effort, haven't they?  With their printed cardboard engineered cacti in a repetition format covered in a floral design we guess we have to appreciate something here.   Sale time is notoriously difficult to do well and most retailers simply place a graphic in the window (we are yawning as we type this as its the dullest part of the year) to announce this time of the season.  They made an effort, tick.
