Clarks, London

We have tended to gush a little over the windows at Clarks although only as their latest schemes have been such a welcomed departure from what we are used to seeing at this brand. Showcasing their Athleisure products (actually only three products in their Regent street windows in total; thats confidence in this product for you) and a supporting online presence which is highly comparable to many luxury brands, this scheme is a leap ahead in footwear presentation and we just hope that they keep them coming.

Brunello Cucinelli, London

AW16 collections are clearly already on their way if this scheme is anything to go by.  Here we have references to gardening complete with 'shed' backdrop (albeit a very posh one) complete with garden seating and very shiny tools indeed.  We always find it slightly jarring seeing such layered schemes when the weather is so warm here in London, but thats fashion for you.

Ara Vartanian, London

We do love to see a bit of clever humour in store windows particularly when everything around us in the world appears to be so chaotic.  We've also never heard of this brand so its a welcomed relief to find a brand beyond the ones we normally include (simply as they change their schemes so often and do interesting things) out there on the high street.  Ara Vartanian is a Brazilian jewellery brand who have just opened their first store here in London's Mayfair.  Working in conjunction with those lovely guys at www.millingtonassociates.com the brands first scheme revolves around Space, Planets and constellations which reflect some of the concepts at the heart of Ara Vartanian's fantastic pieces.  We will keep an eye on this brand moving forward and fingers crossed they continue to produce ever more incredible schemes which we can share with you.

Ralph Lauren, London

Ralph Lauren appears to favour these kind of apartment / lifestyle-type installations as it seems to be a recurring theme at this brand.  Whose lifestyle or apartment we're not entirely sure although of course the schemes are always of the highest quality.  Rocking the beige at the moment this isn't the most exciting 'thing' we have ever seen from this brand although maybe its some kind of intermediate scheme, who knows?

Anthropologie, London

If you want to buy delicious home ware then look no further than Anthropologie.  We tend to gush when we see this brand as they do what they do so well, and......and....they now how bust forms with articulated arms. Yay...!  What a relief and looking so much better than previously.  Beautiful hanging banners and artistically stacked product this is one brand firmly on our radar and as always looking super cool.

Topman, London

We passed this scheme the other evening and while we can only guess that this is referring to the festival season it was actually quite interesting so view such an intriguing architectural structure within this space along Oxford Street. There isn't much else we can say about this installation other than that but do go an have a look if you can.

Prada, London

No one brand understands colour like Prada does.  We always see such interesting combinations of tones, graphics and occasionally props, but then when you have your own foundation brimming with work from the most exciting artists in the world its no wonder.  We dont know what the references are in the graphics although the top image looks vaguely 'Metropolis' however we can only guess.

Gucci, London

Capturing this in a photograph just doesnt communicate the amazing glow from this scheme at the Gucci store along Sloane street.  Hopefully this scheme has (well no doubt has) been implemented wherever you are in the world so that you can truly appreciate the amazing use of colour and the stunning neon lighting.

MCM, London

We really do try to like what this brand does (yes, we know its of no consequence whether we like it or not) however their schemes don't ever seem to 'talk' to us.  Perhaps we are just so far removed from their target audience that their schemes just don't make sense to us?  That all said, with their bubblegum Pink spheres in a repetition of various sizes backdrop against a Canary Yellow panel and 'disco' signage this surely makes sense to someone out there and therefore we will let you draw your own conclusions we guess.

Have you seen the new fragrance destination at Selfridges recently?  This fantastic collaboration between www.millingtonassociates.com and Selfridges looks stunning.  The new Fragrance and Candles department fills a large space on the ground floor of the store and has been designed to entice customers to experience scent in new and innovative ways.  This beautiful apothecary style illuminated department has funnel topped tables to deliver a truly unique personal customer testing experience and is surrounded with wooden panels in this stunning shade of Grey.  Go and try this for yourself if you can - amazing.

Lanvin here in London is looking very hot right now with their large acrylic panels and high resolution prints of ink splats forming the background to their luxury products suspended in a gravitational format on vintage bus forms with articulated arms.  In conjunction with the lovely guys at www.helloflamingo.co.uk these panels contain a variety of different paint effects which are beautifully illuminated and fill their store windows with a flood of amazing colour.

Hogan, London

We adore the latest scheme at Hogan although we cant actually find out much information about this or even the product.  Not really very good from a communication point of view.  If you like very expensive trainers (or sneakers if you are reading this stateside) then this is the brand for you.  At their Sloane street store the presentation consists of this fantastic faux perspective with an out sized number 86 although a cursory glance on their website and there is little to tell us about this promotion.  Cu'mon guys communicate to your audience?

Harvey Nichols, London

We cant quite work out the narrative here at Harvey Nichols right now although of course with their delicious products and equally sumptuous installations perhaps it doesn't matter?  Filling this space across the run of their Knightsbridge store are these glittery nymph-like figures in full animated action (by Universal Display) and featuring the fantastic mannequins from Proportion>London's mademoiselle collection.
