Coach, London

We have to be honest with you, we're running out of new schemes.  Looking around London at the moment so many stores have closed and empty store units are evident more than ever.  Therefore, there will be a few times this week where we may show you some of the schemes we have shown before although in more detail.  This element, for example is one area of the Coach scheme we overlooked recently and a lovely element it is too.

Kate Spade, London

We were really trying to capture this scheme sensitively.  We can all probably agree that this is not their finest hour re. their scheme however this is what is out there.  This brand have produced some great gems in the past although this is sadly rather poor by comparison.  We are guessing that they either have no VM team or simply no budget at all.  It might have been better to have no scheme at all and dust off the large format graphic in the meantime.

Longchamp, London

There's very little we can mention about this scheme other than its a large format graphic with a couple of mannequins.  We were hoping not to see these kinds of schemes around town but given the circumstances we still find ourselves in we can understand why.  There are so many empty store units here in central London which is slightly worrying so we can't be very picky when it comes to schemes right now.  Or, can we?

Breitling, London


Its been a long time since we saw anything vaguely visual from this brand and for some reason we were surprised to find their store along Regent street.  Interestingly there has been a bit of a shift for luxury brands to move (or add) to their stores from Bond Street to Regent street in recent times, perhaps slightly in line with places such as the Champs Elysees in Paris.  Watch brands with stand alone stores don't tend to do very well (apparently) however this brand clearly is and great to see some visual outputs at their store too.

Cos, London

This is such a moving window to view and if you have the opportunity you should go and see it, even just have a glance.  In collaboration with the brand, the Artist Coco Capitan has created these limited edition T-shirts with 100% of the proceeds going to Kaleidoscope, the LGBT+ trust based here in London.  Do have a look at the Kaleidoscope webpage as this really is a worthy cause which you can find here: https://www.kaleidoscopetrust.com/index.php .  

It is really interesting to see that so many brands are coming out (well not literally obviously - now that would be an unexpected turn of events) and celebrating this remarkable time of year in support of the LGBT+ community.  We don't want to kill this long awaited (torturously long to be honest) development of course, however having lived through the 70's, 80's, 90's etc. ourselves we cant help thinking, Where we you then? Well, we know where you were.  You were here but said nothing and did nothing  (and yet so many of the LGBT+ community have worked for you).  This brand didn't exist until 2007 so we can forgive them to a point, however now that it is slightly more cool to support groups who have been and still are on the fringes of society every brand appears to be jumping on Pride as a commercial opportunity (not all of course and this scheme really is for a worthy cause).   We cant help but wonder if the same highlighting of LGBT+ support went into all stores across the country, ya' know in the rougher bits where support is probably needed more rather than in the safe spaces of the big city?  We're doubtful unless you tell us otherwise.  In the meantime, we will welcome you even if you weren't there when we actually needed you to raise awareness and support us but we won't forget either.

Anthropologie, London

We did try and capture this scheme in all its glory a few weeks ago however just as we approached the windows the lights were turned off.  We guess they saw us coming.  Anyway, sadly of course, right now London is filled with dreaded Sale signs so have found ourselves trying to squeeze anything visual out of the high street this week in order to show you some schemes.  Here at this brand (besides the obligatory Sale signage which we are trying to avoid) is this rather beautiful floral scheme.

Ermenegildo Zegna, London

As always this brand continues to deliver great schemes and naturally promote their amazing cause to save the forest.  The forest in question is a 100 square kilometre area in a place called Piedmont in the Alps.  Our only thought here however is that if you are trying to save a forest it might be a good idea not to actually chop bits off and put them in your windows across the world.  It is of course probably not the case that they did this although hopefully you can see how these things can be interpreted.

Pull and Bear, London

We've been looking at this for a few weeks now and we're still a little, well, quite uncertain what this is actually all about?  There is a small decal on the window which reads something along the lines of "A time travel, caring for fashion, our essence, and the spirit of the people we love" (we think it says this although it is quite high up in the window).  And then, there is this installation piece next to the bust forms.  Hmmmm.  Are they trying to adopt a Fine Art approach and got it all wrong?  Maybe.  We will have to let you decide what you think on this one.

Fortnum and Mason, London

We do love a great F&M scheme and with the lovely weather we're experiencing here in London right now this just makes us want to go out and have a fantastic picnic with some of their products.  If you are new to London or plan to visit then you must go an experience this wonderful place.  These are their side windows incidentally as their main front windows were under going a change but we will bring those to you shortly.

Moose Knuckle, London

Well, this brand is a new one for us.  While we are seeing a lot of empty shop units across town at the moment, and of course the Gap have decided to pull out of the UK and Europe and go entirely online which will leave even larger spaces to fill, the good news is that new brands are moving in and refreshing the high street.  We have never come across this brand before, and it transpires the name of course refers to, well, the opposite of a female camel toe, i.e. male genitalia.  Classy stuff this (we will just sit back and wait for the backlash this name will eventually summon).  Beyond the dreadful name this Canadian brand has a great store although we're not entirely sure how many quilted jackets we need here in the UK, ya' know, global warming an' all that although they do do hoodies too.

Cos, London

We cant quite remember what this scheme reminds us of.  Possibly some of the trend information from places such as W.G.S.N. potentially.  Anyway, another very interesting selection of materials, colours, shapes and forms from this brand and very much a Fine Art approach to their installations without a large format graphic in sight. Phew.

Tommy Hilfiger, London

Its been a very long time since we looked at the windows here although to be honest they haven't done very much or at least nothing we really wanted to share with you anyway.  So here they are.  Encouraging us to find our happy place this Summer is Tommy Hilfiger.  Thankfully we have already found ours, well, actually we found it a long time ago but you get the idea anyway.
