Rimowa, London

There isn't a great deal for us to mention here at the moment although hopefully their seasonal scheme is on its way and there will be something of interest for us to show you.  Apart from the strap line 'We are Ready', quite what they are ready for is not clear.  Well, here you go for now anyway.

Ralph Lauren, London

Oddly, we too often find ourselves at the Polo Bar wearing Ralph Lauren on quite a regular basis.  Strange, eh..!.  Anyway, as we would expect this brand have delivered superbly yet again with this installation at their Bond Street Mansion.  Beautiful product and equally beautiful interiors with no Christmas tree in sight (well not at the front run of windows anyway).

John Lewis, London

You've probably seen the ad.  (if you live in the UK at least) now you can see the windows too.  As with so many retailers out there, budgets have no doubt been slashed quite brutally this year so its no surprise that the TV advertising with a much wider reach across a whole range of audiences, no doubt got the larger share.  We have seen some killer Christmas schemes here previously although its quite obvious that times have been tough even for this monolith on the high street.

Smythson, London

We're sure that just like every other retailer this one has suffered this year although they still managed to pull off some great schemes nonetheless.  With the Christmas season in full swing out there on the high street, with the exception of a few retailers, naturally this brand are highlighting some of their gorgeous products within their scheme.  Large boxes in a beautiful shade of Blue in a pyramidal format topped with a large outsized bow fill their windows with a stunning Gold trim around the outside of their windows.

Tiffany, London

Who can possibly fault this magnificent scheme, eh..!  This is our favourite time of year for this brand as they never fail to deliver a superbly produced installation.  We had hoped to see their store in NYC this year so that we could share their scheme from their super flagship along 5th Avenue although curent circumstances mean is was a little late to book our annual visit to the Big Apple.  Still, we have London and we're grateful for that.  There are of course a run of four windows here in London although we will publish all of them on our Insta and Facbook accounts through the links below.

Zara, London

We've seen some great schemes throughout 2021 here at this Zara store along Oxford and Bond street.  Naturally, as we are now in the party season, what else would you promote?  Well, those chic little Black dresses of course.  Great styling, affordable luxury and wonderful to see no Christmas trees as their go-to (although there is still time of course).

Loro Piana, London

We often wonder whether brands capture images of their mocked-up windows before they install them in-store?  The reason we mention it is that this scheme looks so incredibly dull in our images and yet is actually very bright and, well, sort of interesting.  OK, its another digital screen scheme which dosnt require any real skill to implement from a Visual Merchandising perspective but at least we can now look forward to their Chrismas installation.

Issey Miyake, London

We adore this brand although we do find ourselves willing them to do something a bit more visual in their windows.  Of course, the product is superb and they clearly want to show if off, why wouldnt they?  However, we do find that confident brands dont always even show products in the windows and simply have incredible narratives to draw us in.  We live in hope that these guys will do something visual at some point.

Dior, London

This is such a beautiful scheme at Dior right now and we're guessing that its their Christmas promotion.  We have seen some absolutely killer schemes at this brand even during the pandemic - how on earth do they do it, eh.!  Anyway, there is only one slight although important element which we cant help wondering about.  Why havent they illuminated the mannequins faces and therefore the product?  You can also see these images in a larger version either through our Facebook or Insta page (links below)

H&M, London

We're always feel rather dubious when we see these kinds of promotions in fast fashion brands' windows.  We've all heard this stuff before and a lot of Green washing is the usual go-to.  Anyway, great windows with the brand logo in fun fur and the strap line Time to Change!.  Indeed.  In collaboration with PETA, the brand have launched a PETA-approved animal friendly collection (what were they doing before then?) called the Co-exist story for womenswear, menswear and kids wear.  Products retail from £9.99 apparently.  A collaboration with an organisation such as the workers rights consortium in Bangladesh would have got us more interested however.

Tods, London

We dont have access to emoji's on this platform however if we did we would be clicking on the OMG face and the sad one with the tears.  What on earth happened to this amazing installation?  Just a few weeks ago we were lavishing Visual Merchandising love on these windows and all thats left are the bricks where those amazing pieces were placed.  Its like a reverse version of cars on blocks although in this case the blocks have been left and the cars has been stolen.  From our years of experience (and to be honest it is a guess) we imagine that someone senior from HQ didnt like the windows and told everyone to take out what was an amazing installation.  The fools (enter eye-rolling emoji here)

Dolce and Gabbana, London

We have been slighly spoiled by this brand this year as they have, despite all of the on-going problems in the world still presented us with their very creative window schemes.  Right now however there isnt a great deal to see although this might (just might) be as they are preparing for the installation of their Christmas scheme.  In the meantime we present you with some very glossy and sparkly windows but without Visual Merchandising (unless you include the mannequins).

Zara, London

We captured this a few weeks ago when they also had what we think was possibly a Halloween element in the front windows.  We think anyway.  As always, super quality installations prevail at this brand with their current one nodding to film set-style references at least at their Bond street store.  We don't often see intersting narratives at these types of brands, i.e. global players so great know how valuable their visual merchandising is to them.
