Cartier, Dubai

OK, nothing revolutionary here but just a nice window.  Lots of clouds in what are rather giant sized windows for such a small product, albeit a very sparkly one.

Lanvin, Dubai

In this ultra conservative culture we couldn't help but raise a smile at this installation at Lanvin.  Artists have long had a means to add sly messages into their work that are often quite hidden and we really hope that this brand were thinking in this way?  Who knows?  They probably wouldn't spill the beans anyway.  While of course this is a great installation does this remind you of some kind of bondage scene (above)?  Naturally we can only guess from our own (ahem) vague references of bondage you understand or maybe we are just hoping it is?  Probably the latter once you view the image below.

Joseph, London

During the month of April, Barbara Casasola is bringing her SS15 collection to Joseph on Brompton Road here in London.  Referencing Brazilian Architect Lina Bo Bardi's historic Casa de Vidro which is situated in the rain forest outskirts of Sao Paolo (do look this amazing place up as there are some really interesting links to Le Corbusier and his use of paloti at the Villa Savoye in Poissy, France).  The stunning abstract interior of Casa de Vidro with its concrete tiles, steel columns and raw linen curtains which looks onto the hidden tropical garden creates the context for the sensual aesthetic of this London based designers collection.

Diesel, Dubai

Diesel in the Dubai Mall are currently going down the land of the giants out sized prop route right now.  Huge snack bags, drinks cans and straws in a cartoon style communicate the fun that these guys are having.  Its hardly ever not Summer here (well maybe the odd rainy day once a year which completely freaks the locals out) so perfectly appropriate.  We haven't seen this in London so maybe it is a Dubai specific scheme, we honestly don't know, but great to see such amazingly huge windows being played with.

Bloomingdales, Dubai

A beautifully simple scheme rocks Bloomie's in Dubai right now.  The simple White background with the the use of Black lines in two and three dimensional form fills these enormous windows.  Thankfully the usual Mondrian-esque coloured bits which we find so over used are eliminated here creating a very focused scheme.  We just cant see how this translates in store however.

La Rinascente Duomo, Milan

 Well that made you look didn't it?  We've seen David Beckham in his pants and now Justin Bieber is flashing his 'bits' at the fabulous La Rinascente Duomo in Milan.  Full-sized window vinyls fill this space, all illuminated with White neon strip lights to celebrate Calvin Klein's launch of this famous underwear as worn by the pop star himself and Lara Stone.  Biceps, six pack, tattoos, pecs and well you know what.  We have seen this scheme in London although across such large windows it does have quite a significant impact.

Harvey Nichols, Dubai

How fantastic are these windows...!  Here at Harvey Nichols, Dubai, the team have injected masses of humour into an otherwise very conservative environment and produced these amazing windows with their out sized figures.  What's not to love about this play with size and perspective.  Superb props and oozing such confidence that we wish we could see these windows more often.  Brilliant fun.

Galeries Lafayette, Dubai

We're working in the middle east for the next couple of weeks so we are going to be showing you some of the best of the current window schemes in Dubai right now.  Its incredibly hot here and fantastic to have such warm evenings but with air con just about everywhere we are scouring the malls to bring you some amazing schemes like demons on a mission.  Here at Galeries Lafayette out sized props of, appropriately enough Camels (well it is the desert) in pastel tones and the strap line 'Tomorrows Bright'.

Coach, London

We weren't entirely sure what this scheme was about although it does make sense when you see the movie on their website.  With the launch of their SS15 collection, A Journey Across America, while the car 'bits' seemed initially a little arbitrary, they have actually referenced to the sense of journey and travel in a rather more abstract way which leads us to that penny dropping moment.  Thankfully no Route 66 signs to be seen anywhere.

Etro, London

We imagine this installation is one which is product-led and based on their SS15 collection.  This also a really interesting move for this brand who had a window filling digital screen until recently (unless it is behind this one) and here the two dimensional print flows into the third dimension to produce something which is very sculptural.  Great use of colour too.
