Louis Vuitton, London

The scheme at LV along Sloane street was work in progress as we passed by, although we thought we would give you a sneak preview of whats to come......wonderful as ever...!

On the streets, London

Of course?

Puma, London

We quite like what the guys at Puma are doing right now - not that it really matters what we think anyway, does it?  With references to the Nostalgia trend the scheme here is absolutely there, although, the scheme is perhaps just a little too 'plastic' for us.  Petrol pumps and fire hydrants feature here, although just a little in isolation of everything else.  We've seen something similar at 'Guess' recently with references to Route 66 and although we're not fans of the brand itself, we have to admit they did do it better.  Anyway, from the outside, this store along Carnaby st. looks rather cool anyway.

Gola, London

This  tiny Gola store along Carnaby street really does do some fun and witty schemes.  For such a small space these guys always seem to really make an effort and try to produce something rather interesting.  The lighting is a little dodgy however and we wish they could change it as its so bright that its almost impossible to take a decent shot of their schemes.  But, anyway, they always amuse us and we keep coming back to see what they are doing so job well done we think.

Liberty, London

As we write the scheme at Liberty is changing from their National Treasures theme to Christmas.  However, we managed to capture this little treasure before it changed and its references to the Nostalgic theme that we are beginning to see around town right now.  There are a lot of schemes referencing Liberty fabrics so its far from ironic that the store where it all came from is doing the same.  Anyway, here's part of the scheme in case you missed it.

Juicy Couture, London

Is it us or have 'Juicy' run out of juice?  These guys seemed to really take London by storm a short while ago and goodness knows their NYC store looks incredible.  However, the brand here seems to have become a bit of a long forgotten memory, don't you think?  Whats going on guys?  You've done some great stuff in the past but it seems you've faded into the background.  With such a tiny store in 'Couture-land' being in between 'Stella' and 'DVF' and just a stones throw from Margiela maybe this is the wrong place for you?  Have a look at the queues outside Topshop and this will give you an indication of where you need to be? 

Gant, London

We really quite like what the guys are doing at Gant right now.  OK, well the merchandise isn't the best in the world, although we 'Guess' they have a market for it.  However their concepts are always so interesting and do hit a certain mark.  With their references to the Nostalgia trend we've been viewing creeping through the window schemes around London right now - and these guys clearly have their fingers on the pulse in that respect - its always so interesting to view how each brand interprets this stuff.  We love the Tennis (?) racket wall in a repetition format and the old school lockers although mannequins would have really brought this scheme together rather than the dreaded armless bust forms which do no brand any favours.  But, that's just how we feel,  how about you?

Etro, London

Even after hours of standing in the window, Linda could still manage a quick levitation demonstration  for the cameras.

Anthropologie, London

We absolutely love this store.  The windows always look superb and we want to live in here (please?).  What these guys do is extremely difficult to make look so good and the level of skill here is quite superb.  The merchandise is a little pricey but then we guess you get what you pay for.  Anyway, with so much to look at here and the people who work here are always so nice too we keep coming back to have a look and see what they do next.

VM and Display show 2012

Selfridges, London, Christmas 2011

If you happen to be in London's West End then you must, must, must go and view Selfridges Christmas scheme 2011.  With references and nod to Martin Margiela we cant help but absolutely love this scheme.  This all White scheme screams quality, humour,  and shows London Visual Merchandising at its very best.  You simply must go and experience it for yourself.

Banana Republic, London

Tracy had always been the life and soul of the secret night time window parties, although it was quite clear to the others that her drinking was becoming a problem.

B Store, London

We love Seana Gavin's installation here at B Store right now.  The installation for Frieze is in place until 5th November.  If you happen to be along Saville Row soon, do go and check it out.  If you cant get there just Google Seana Gavin (the hand cut collage Artist) and a whole load of wonderful things pop up.
