Iblues, Milan

We've looked at this brand on a few occasions although still know so little about them.  The one thing we do love about this scheme is how dynamic their use of mannequins is and how much it relates to a fantastic magazine photoshoot and with great product too.  Unfortunately they use the ugly base plates that mannequins come with....doesn't anyone know how to wire mannequins any more?

Salvatore Ferragamo, Milan

The London version of this scheme pales by comparison.  How gorgeous is this..!  The brand have always produced quality schemes although more recently they have really upped their game and now they look fantastic.  We had an additional image of the windows here on our Instagram through the link below.

Loro Piana, Milan

We had already spotted this scheme at this brand while back in London and loved it there too.  The brand must have printed literally thousands of post cards for this scheme which have been placed in a repetition format in order to create the back drop for the product.  Very colourful it is too and as always the stores where the brand is based usually have the biggest and best visual merchandising - naturally this store is no exception.

Crown to Couture, London

If you love your Fashion then you could do no worse than visit here.   Situated within the fabulous context of Kensington Palace, finally we see a worthy use of a building which represents everything which is wrong with the UK but a great space it is nonetheless and this goes some way to repair the damage of previous generations.  Please, please, please can we see more exhibitions like this in your gorgeous Palace?  If you are a fan of the Met Gala in New York this is also one for you with outfits worn by the rich and famous at this extravagant annual event.

La Rinascente, Milan

This is possibly not the most exciting installation from this brand particularly for Design week but, well here we are.  In collaboration with St. Laurent their hand painted wall paper fills the background in conjunction with some delicious furniture.  At least it captures the vibe of the Furniture Fair part of the week we guess.

Hermes, Milan

We've never been disappointed looking at the windows at this brand.  They always, and we mean always, exceed our expectations no matter where we are in the world.  We have no idea what the theme is here and to be honest it was so incredibly busy outside the store when we visited that we actually had to ask people to move out of the way.  This is one of four windows however and you can view them all either on our Twitter, Facebook or Instagram accounts.  Links below.

Pinko, Milan

We barely notice this brand in London but here in Milan it looks fantastic.  The stores are awash with screaming Pink with a big focus it seems on Maximalism.  If you are not familiar with the brand they began in the 1980's in Italy.  The stores back in London pale by comparison to the ones here in Milan which look absolutely vibrant, fun and are everything a young fashion brand should be.

VM & Display Show 2023, London

If you didn't or were not able to attend the VM & Display show here in the fabulous city of London then you really did miss a corker of an event.  The creativity was bursting out of the building with the most amazing work from both familiar and new contributors.  If you didn't get to see it then we've put a whole bunch of images on our Instagram and Facebook pages for you to peruse (link below).  Here's a little snapshot for you in the meantime.

Patek Philippe, London

As we usually take our images during the evening time there is no product in these windows however just look at how stunning this scheme is.  This brand really do make a huge effort to have great window spaces and yet we've never known anyone here who designs and implements them (thats very much a mystery) however we take our hat off to you and a great new scheme.

Roger Vivier, London

What an absolutely gorgeous scheme at this brand right now and bang on time for the current London weather.  Filled with stunning flora of various sizes this window scheme is just fabulous and actually we don't care that the shoes blend so well with the background as this installation just works so well.

Max Mara, London

This is possibly one of the nicest schemes we've seen at this brand for a while in beautiful cool Blue tones.  Everything about this appears stress free and so incredibly relaxed with these semi-sheer structures framing the scene perfectly.  We love the Poodle props too..!

Louis Vuitton, London

There's a wonderful crispness about these windows right now, don't you think?  We do love these kinds of land-of-the-giants type schemes with massive outsized props and obviously these are beautifully produced as one would expect from this super luxurious brand.  The other thing to note is the slight angle of the props too which seems to increase the sense of depth in the window spaces.

Etro, London

Great use of colour.  We're not entirely sure if we like the giant Apples here but what a wonderful use of colour in a scheme.  We particularly love how the Blue's  absolutely pop out against the Orange tones (well they are complimentary colours so naturally they will).  There is also an interesting use of pattern on the flooring too although overall the scheme is difficult to track back through to the brands website which is a shame as we would like to understand the connection here.
