Brunello Cucinelli, London

Photoshop on overdrive again.  We used to love the schemes at this brand when they were just around the corner from the LV maison but since they moved to their new site along Bond street they seem to have either lost their dedicated Visual Merchandiser or lost the will to live.  Mannequins placed in a Police Line  up formation, props randomly gap filling the floor and no styling at all.  Sort ya windows out Brunello Cucinelli.

Fortnum and Mason, London

The closer we get to Christmas, the harder it is to capture the windows here as the crowds become ever more frenzied with excitement.  We did however manage to capture these windows through the crowds although hadnt realised at the time that the concept here was based on animals dreams and appear to have missed the various creatures asleep at the bottom of the windows.  Anyway, most of the run can be seen via out Insta page, link below.

Hermes, London

We think we detect a few references to Firtz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis?  If we are right, then how amazing is this?  If we're wrong, it doesnt matter anyway as we love the schemes at this brand regardless.  Sadly this is the second year in a row where we couldnt get to see the stores in NYC as we do love to have a look at this brands' stores because the schemes are all so different.  In the meantime, the full run of windows are included on our Insta and Facebooks sites with the links below.

Fendi, London

Yeah, we have no idea either.  However, following a quick glance across their website while trying to make sense of this scheme we did actually come across an interesting exhibition which they are advertising on their main page. Called Hand in Hand it celebrates Italian Artisans and is currently happening in Rome right now until January.  We only wish that we could be there to see it.

Loewe, London

We have been wondering if this brand recieved the Christmas memo this year?  Or, are they so incredibly cool that they decided to take the flora route this year?  Maybe Christmas looks like this somewhere in the world perhaps?  Anyway, who cares, it looks colourful and interesting (apart from the horrible security grille behind the scheme, but then that's open backed windows for you).

Liberty, London

We had almost forgotten that we had captured the windows here as we have been so consumed by the many installations out there on the high street.  Over the years we have seen some really daring schemes at this store which we loved and particularly enjoyed how they captured the vibe on the street.  This seems to be lost a little now but things change and move on we guess and no-one can afford to offend anyone (although they were fun times).  In the meantime stacks and stacks of envelopes were used in this scheme as well as a tonne of product and as usual there are a lot more images available via our Insta or Facebook pages for closer inspection with the links below.

Ermenegildo Zegna, London

We've followed this brand all the way through yet another year and, just as with this scheme, they produce some wonderful work.  For this season the brand have instaled a slowly revolving globe in one of their windows, the details below are of what is inside.  We've missed not being able to see New York again this year although the interior of the globe reminds us of some of the amazing visual merchandising we've seen at places such as ABC (our absolute favourite interiors store).

Coach, London

Our images are probably not the most flattering ones for this scheme as it does look a lot better than what you can see here however as we were very quickly dodging the crowds along Regent Street this is as good as they get.  We love these animals in the windows here in beautiful finishes in shiny metallic tones.  The stap line or perhaps promotional tag for the season is of course Give a Little Love which features here in White neon lettering.

Roger Vivier, London

Although this is a relatively small store here along Bond street this brand always produce some killer schemes.  Indeed throughout 2021 we have seen some real corkers.  We're not quite sure how we feel about this scheme with its Bubblegum Pink....are they fair ground horses?  And, wearing some of the product but they do have a certain style to their schemes and quite honestly we're so glad that they take their Visual Merchandising so seriously.

Moschino, London

Wow....this looks really great.  We havent always been kind about the windows here but we have to say it....this scheme looks really fun.  With references to what appear to be gaming and pinball machines in particular the brand really have gone over board on their Christmas scheme this year with an impressive installation.  We still dont like the product but the windows look brilliant this year.  As always, more images on our Insta and Facebook accounts through the links below.

Rimowa, London

We werent quite sure what to make of this scheme with the slightly creepy metallic child however on reflection (no pun intended), we love the simplicity and the finish looks fantastic.  Whether by default or design the way the finish on the figure reflects the surrounding lighting on the street and from the stores across the road works incredibly well and naturally their luxury products stacked in this pyramidal / tree-like structure is genius.

Louis Vuitton, London

You have probably seen this scheme across the world if you are linked into their social media and what a wonderful tribute to such an incredbile talent.  We've seen some very moving social media posts regarding the passing of Virgil Abloh and of course our thoughts are with his family too.

A Bathing Ape, London

It really has been a very long time since we first saw this brand on the high street, in fact it was 20 years ago in Tokyo where we originally came across it.  It took quite some time to find the store given that there was a hurricane and that it was in an obscure basement somewhere, but find it we did.  Twenty years on they have taken over the old Nicole Farhi store along Conduit street and still look achingly cool.
