Louis Vuitton, London

Wow, just look at the new installation at LV right now.  These are not the greatest visuals in the world however there is a reason why.  Those noisy guys in their flashy cars who drive so loudly around London (usually Knightsbridge and usually during the Summer time) appear to have decamped from that area to just outside this store.  Therefore it was impossible to get better images and particularly ones without lights reflecting on the glass.  Still, these help to communicate what the brand are doing at the moment in their Maisons and they do look quite spectacular.

Temperley, London

Is there a hint of Valentines creeping through out there?  Well perhaps at Temperley right now.  Most brands have only just installed their new schemes after Christmas or Sale however here at this brand they at least have an illuminated heart in their only window.  We can never quite understand however why they never illuminate their mannequins in their windows?  There is clearly some light here but sadly not on the product.  Odd.

Tory Burch, London

We've begun to see a lot of this crewel work around town, particularly at McQueen and social media sites and this kind of nod to craft work.  Here at this Tory Burch we have some out sized examples on what appear to be embroidery frames, or repetition of radiating forms which have been applied to the back drop of the window space.

Moschino, London

This brand are rocking a scarecrow look at the moment complete with farmhouse /  sky backdrop, prop corn field and straw creeping out of sleeves and hats.  We're not quite sure what this is all about and perhaps a slightly odd choice for a scheme at this time of year although we guess they are looking forward ahead of time toward those hazy days of summer which no doubt all of us are craving right now.

Dior, London

If you remember, this brand produced the most incredible scheme for the Christmas season.  While a lot of Sale schemes are still in place across the mid-range brands, thankfully the luxury sector have already moved on and have installed their latest installations.  Delicious Dior have a large and apparently crumbling outsized letter 'D' in their main window supported of course with their amazing product.

Dunhill, London

Its been a long time since we had a look at this brand just a stones throw from the amazing Fortnum and Mason.  The brand dont tend to do a lot re. visual merchandising although we did love these amazing fish graphics currently in their windows.  What this has to do with anything is anyones guess although this bright Orange is a welcomed warmth in this freezing London weather.

Vivienne Westwood, London

Oh its good to be back in this old city and naturally our first stop is the Great British institution that is Vivienne Westwood.  It seems like we have been away for months and months although actually its only a few weeks and so back to some sanity finally.  Living out of a suitcase is fun for a while but its so wonderful to be here in London.  Let it Rock.  Indeed.  While there is a lot of Sale still on across the city there are at least a few pockets of wonderful things happening and we will share these as we progress through the year.

Gudren Sjoden, New York

This is our final entry before we head back to blighty having explored as much as we can about this incredible city.  Gudren Sjoden is a Scandinavian Eco friendly and sustainability brand and while we feel slightly guilty that we are racking up our carbon footprint while simultaneously including a sustainable brand please don't flight shame us just yet as we couldn't do our job otherwise.

Wardrobe. NYC, New York

You can almost guarantee that a space with such limited merchandise is not going to be on the less expensive side of the price point scale and having tested the website for this store we seem to have inadvertently tried to purchase just two items and racked up a £1000 / $1303 order.  Still, this is an interesting place nonetheless and apparently Wardrobe.NYC is "a conceptual composite of luxury essentials".  Indeed.  Its a strange old world when a luxury item becomes an essential one, but there you have it.

Prada, New York

We've nearly squeezed all we can out of this incredible city and will soon head back to London for the dreaded Sales.  Lets hope they've finished already.  We've always been big fans of this store by the super talented Rem Koolhaas and featured his Abu Dhabi Louvre several months ago.  This space is so wonderfully versatile and just look at this bright Yellow installation at their store.  Delicious stuff.

Rose Mansion, New York

Further down the experiential trail.  We had been dying to visit this place and in fact missed it last year as we had run out of time but fortunately we were staying quite close by.  If you love your Insta-moments then this is the place for you.  Once we had signed the obligatory disclaimer we joined the group of probably 30 - 40 very excitable females as we were toured through the Rose Mansion.  Each space varies with a slightly different theme and once issued with our branded plastic glass we were off to try some samples of, well you guessed it, Rose.  If you like your glassed on the fuller side then you will be disappointed as we each received probably about a thimble full each time.  With a very energetic team here to guide you through the spaces its certainly not a gentle place and being the only male everyone did suspect that I was an undercover journalist.  Clearly not the case.  Once they realised that we were no threat I soon became the nominated boomerang-selfie-insta-pic taker.  Was it worth it?  Well we can see the fun side of it but they are mean with the booze.

Tomatoland, New York

Just a few doors away from the Moncler store which we included here recently is Tomatoland.  An Insta-dream.  If you like your props larger than life then this is the place for you.  Ok, well its not as sophisticated as Artechouse which we included yesterday although this is a great place for those all important Insta moments which we have been looking out for across the city.
