Moncler, London

With their miniature snowmen in a repletion format Moncler as always looks superb but also of course seasonal.  While so many brands (with the exception of the value retailers) appear to be ignoring the usual Christmas-style installations at least this one is getting us in the mood for the pending festivities.  Well, actually, probably like most people in the VM industry we were over Christmas decorations last June although we guess everyone else can appreciate the spectacle.

Moschino, London

Another brand strangely not covered in Christmas lights and trees is Moschino right now.  With their giant glossy magazine front cover it is actually a pleasant surprise to find so many brands skipping the usual types of installations we have always seen.  Austerity or are we all just bored of seeing the same old stuff year after year?  Who knows?

Tory Burch, London

This is a relatively simple scheme from this brand and not quite enough to talk about other than it has a concertinaed Black and White patterned  backdrop and textured product.  This is not a particularly seasonal-looking scheme although to be honest thats absolutely fine and a welcomed relief from all of the bling around town right now.

Louis Vuitton, London

It seems that collaborations is one of the key strands running throughout 2017 and of course the latests installation here at LV in conjunction with the incredible American Artist Jeff Koons makes quite a statement.  Known for working with popular cultural subjects and his reproductions of banal objects - some of which are enormous - Koons is a fantastic choice for this seasonal scheme and naturally keeps this brand at the absolute cutting edge in the world of luxury.

Fendi, London

If you feel the need to view a delicious scheme then look no further.  Fendi never fails to disappoint and just look at this little gem.  The words Love, Hope and Fun are the focal points in this beautifully illuminated installation along Bond street right now.  Perfectly executed and no Christmas tree in sight....relief.

Burberry, London

We're guessing that this is the Christmas scheme at Burberry right now as why would anyone go to this much trouble for a temporary installation, right?  Artfully stacked chairs is the latest scheme at this monolithic brand and we are also guessing that this has gone global and great to see this brand do something other than the norm which so many brands seem to adopt out there.  Not a Christmas tree in sight, relief.

Patek Philippe, London

We've been following this brand all year and they become more and more visual with every scheme.  Bring it on.  We have also been trying to resist including Christmas schemes although it is an inevitable part of the Visual Merchandising calender of course so we will gradually show you some of the best of what is happening here in London over the next few weeks.  Here at Patek Philippe they have installed a fairytale narrative which of course works perfectly for this time of year and thankfully not a Christmas tree in sight.

Dior, Manchester

With their signature Grey colour and shiny metallic logo who could mistake Dior.  Of course not being a flagship this brands store doesn't get the 'full' Dior treatment that we showed you recently in London with their giant video screens but then thats how retail works.  Still, great to see other stores around the country in the final entry with images kindly shared by Jenny Crossland.

DKNY, Manchester

Sadly this brands store in London along Bond street closed recently and of course the former Donna Karan store also along Bond street closed quite a few years ago and was taken over by LV which now houses their huge Maison site.   This store appears to be the only one left in the UK although the brand do seem to be a big hit in Asia.  We were big fans of the brand for a while although they appear to be slipping gradually away however great to see them hanging on in other parts of the UK at least.

Selfridges, Manchester

We've been resisting showing Christmas schemes up until now although beating most brands to the finish line is Selfridges.  Its been a long time since we visited this store in Manchester and great to see that the brand put so much energy into their schemes across all of their stores and not just ones based in the capital.  We will of course be showing you the brands London store windows very soon.

For all Mankind, Manchester

We often forget how lucky we are to be surrounded by each brands' flagship stores and the fantastic innovation that we happen to come across however, what is always so good to see is that some brands do make an effort and inject some energy into they stores and in particular their window spaces such as here at For all Mankind beyond the centre of it all.  Beautifully detailed graphic back drop supporting the brands amazing products.

Celebrating the amazing recent Wool week campaign the team at www.barthelmess.com in conjunction with the monolithic brand Marks and Spencer recently installed this incredible scheme.  The focus here was on oversized balls of yarn which were individually colour matched and used over 9500 balls, each were individually wrapped in just 5 weeks.  Thats dedication for you.  Additionally different concepts were developed for their various departments in menswear, womenswear, children's wear and home product ranges.

Leuchtturm, Manchester

We had absolutely no idea that this brand had such an interesting history and that they have been around for so long.  Originally established in 1917 the brand is now on its fourth generation as a family owned business - no easy task to keep going that long for sure.  Fantastic also to see such creativity coming out of the other cities across the UK too with great giant head prop and cable and their traditional notebooks used in this repetition format.
