Myer, Australia

It always seems so odd to us that seasons are completely out of sync from us on London time although of course there is life beyond this metropolis and we have to remind ourselves that the world doesn't revolve around this city, does it?  We are always so pleased to see what is happening around the world (after all we don't really live in a vacuum) and our friends across the world are doing some fantastic work.  We have included Myer previously and they are clearly rocking the high street in Australia with their latest AW16 collection presented in a repetition and gravitational format. Some very exciting things happening and looking fantastic guys.

Boucheron, London

To our surprise we have never included this brand but then we only include brands that do interesting schemes so perhaps they have never done anything until now.  OK, well, this is 'sans' jewellery although these cut outs are quite exquisitely produced.  Possibly laser cut (?) or maybe produced by artisans we just dont know although they are very beautiful and great to see these mega wealthy brands making such an effort.

Topshop, London

If we dont include this brands' scheme now they will change it again within a swipe and it will be yesterdays news.  Whatever you think of the owner of this brand (we have our own thoughts on that one) we do have to give huge kudos to the team who implement these schemes as we know how hard they work.  Rocking the houndstooth and stripes and a kind of Urban Outfitters ostentatious poverty look with the wooden plinths in various sizes and applied graphics this brand as always is making a lot of noise at Oxford Circus; and so many mannequins too.

Tiffany, London

Beautifully exquisite as usual, Tiffany proves once again that it is the master of all tiny props generating enormous narratives.  A miniature version of their iconic store on the corner of 5th Avenue NYC with 'diamonds' pouring out of the door in one window, a spiral staircase in another.  There appears to be a trend in jewellery stores right now here in London for these (probably) laser cut pieces.  Go and be amazed at the spectacle of this scheme.

Liberty, London

If you haven't yet seen the fantastic latest scheme at Liberty, here's a quick overview for you.  Their latest scheme is a collaboration with the Photographer's Gallery and Liberty which presents their 'In Your Face' campaign with a series of iconic portraits and style statements that reflect the continuing legacy of Punk and its celebration of raw attitude, youth culture, provocation and self expression.  Now image nearly 40 years on a world where we made such rebellious statements through visuals and fashion again rather than killing each other.  What a more interesting the place the world would be.

Chanel, London

We don't often like what this brand does and as we also often mention, their mannequins with their tiny pin heads are just awful, but its a look which clearly appeals to a vast audience so why would they worry?  The latest scheme with their cut out silhouettes does look rather interesting and it is certainly one of their better installations although apart from that there is very little else here to comment on.

This is a really interesting project in collaboration with Nike and www.mllingtonassociates.com  The team at millington associates were recently asked to collaborate with Nike Retail Lab in Portland, Oregon to help with the creative visualisation into reality for their new Magista 2 Football boot.  The team were given visuals of a brain made from the fly knit thread of the brands famous boot which was sculptured using steel rods which were then used to form the brains 3D profile.  Great to see such interesting developmental images from concept to completion of a scheme to share with you all.

Ted Baker, London

If there is one brand clearly having some fun right now then it has to be Ted Baker.  Thankfully, this brand are still rocking the Summer Holiday season following the Sale period complete with a lifelike flock of seagulls and the strapline 'Mine'.  Great fun narrative from this mid range brand.

Collaborations are clearly de rigueur and right now John Smedley and the British born painter Doris A. Day have produced this incredible collection based on the theme the 'Artistry of Knit' using the highest quality fabric paints on some of the worlds finest knitwear.  The scheme produced by Tenn Ltd is a vibrant, clean and contemporary installation reflecting the post modern period with its dripping paint tins to reflect Day's work.  Check out this brands scheme either along Jermyn or Brooke street.

Dsquared2, London

We do adore this brand although this is a slightly non-committal scheme right now.  We did see this a few weeks ago although it was quite light when we viewed it so have only just been able to include it now.  There's no real narrative here and clearly the product is the focus although the large Black Bamboo against the Pink backdrop looks stunning when you see it in life however there's just no more than that for us to mention.

Akris, London

A lot of brands are still in Sale right now so we are slightly struggling to find much innovation around town.  At Akris however, exotic birds fly from left to right across the backdrop and are repeated in vinyl on the fenestration in this product-led scheme.  There's little else here for us to mention although the colours of the birds do look great.

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.
