Michael Kors, London

There's a kind of creative studio space feeling about this scheme which is actually less of a scheme and more of a vibe.  We like the idea of this.  Just capture the vibe.  Black and White photographic images have been placed on the back wall as if for inspiration with product placed in front although you have to look closely to see the connection however.  As always this brand have continually delivered even these wretched times.

Karl Lagerfeld, London

We've seen some great schemes from this brand in the past and while this one is very clean and simple we expect when things pick up again we will see some of the great narratives that they usually produce beginning to reappear.  Currently the stark White backdrop of this enclosed window space is punctuated by giant cut letters forming of course the initials of the brand.  The secondary window does seem to appear to be the poor relative however and doesn't quite receive the same amount of love as their main space which is a shame.

Cos, London

We really do love the simplicity and cleanliness of this brands' windows.  There's a slight Scandi vibe here we feel.  With a bit of a nod to interiors with the use of the furniture, flora and of course the product presenter which is like a giant version of something which jewellery brands would normally use, this is the latest offer at their store along Regent street right now.

Lavazza, London

It has never occurred to us to look at this brand before now however we happened upon them along Great Malborough street here in the centre of it all and just look at these windows.  It really is great to see these kinds of brands, in this instance, a coffee one, making such an effort although given their location and the superb quality of their product we really shouldn't be so surprised.  Great to see them doing some wonderful stuff anyway even though its really only a graphic (which we are rarely fans of) and hopefully we will see more stuff coming through in the near future.

Canada Goose, London

We're slightly loathed to include this brand as we hate their use of fur.  Thankfully no fur on show here though.  What is interesting to see however is that they are moving to a more sustainable approach with their products although as with all large brands we are never really convinced about their actual intentions and we guess time will tell if this is something they are serious about.  There are some interesting initiatives on their website also including the Fur buy back program.  We've had a great idea, maybe just leave it on the animal in the first instance?

Curiouser and Curiouser, London

We recently included the Bags exhibition here from the V&A as a part of own research and naturally inspiration.  If you are feeling mentally exhausted then why not drop by the other current exhibition at the V&A here in the centre of it all.  Curiouser and Curiouser, obviously the tale of Alice in Wonderland is the focus here however the key element which we were particularly interested in was the inspiration from the experience.  We only have the space for a few images here however do check out our Instagram through the link below for more images of this phenomenal exhibition.

Massimo Dutti, London

We always get a bit of a Cos vibe when we look at this brands' window schemes although of course Cos don't tend to use mannequins in their windows.  We're guessing that its their Fine Art approach or perhaps a nod to a contemporary / minimal interior which makes the link for us.  Needless to say, as always, while the schemes are simple in their outcome, they do tend to produce beautiful installations.  Incidentally, the schemes also seem to differ across their stores too.

Patek Philippe, London

It really is such a pleasure to see how this brand so wonderfully invest in their presentation.  The windows here have been so beautifully produced that they really didn't need any product in them.  We tend to capture windows at night time to avoid the daylight glare so we are guessing that they would normally have some of their exquisite watches placed within the scheme.  We also have limited space here so 6 of the windows have been included in our Instagram account if you wanted to see more of the run of this scheme.

Kate Spade, London

We're trying quite hard not to be mean about the windows here as it may be the case that there is only one person looking after these and trying very hard to get them looking as good as they can.  With so many brands which have lost their leaders they can tend to plummet very quickly but still hang on for a very long time by their fingernails (Ahem.....Laura Ashley).  Thankfully the pandemic didn't push this brand over the edge as we want them to do well although just a bit more cohesiveness and stronger schemes will certainly help.

Max Mara, London

If you want to view beautiful quality windows then look no further.  This brand have recently installed their latest scheme and what wonderful one it is too.  OK, we're not fans of Beige ourselves although its probably called something else in this context but just look at these wonderful prop animals in the installation.  Great to see some creativity out there on the high street too - finally.

John Lewis, London

This brand appear to go through a whole variety of visual vibes from some cutting edge inspiration (which sadly doesn't appear for very long sadly) to the more straight forward.  Like everyone else we imagine they have had their fair share of problems over the the previous 18 months so its a wonder that they have anything at all in their windows.  However, the main reason we have included them is that the reflection of the canopy above the windows looks so cool and we have deliberately included it.  Its a shame that they didn't make more use of it but here you go, this is whats happening out there.

Loewe, London

We don't mind open backed windows ourselves although this one is not doing the brand any favours whatsoever.  Horrible, horrible security grille.  We complete understand the security implications along this street which has a reputation for late night robberies but surely there is a more enticing solution to these windows?  We really are willing them to look good as the always have done at other locations but we sadly have to mention that this is just terrible.

Molton Brown, London

Launching their new Opulent Collection is this brand right now.  We did find ourselves looking for more information on their website as this promotion is so inviting and of course the products look great too.  With names such as Neon Amber and Labdanum (yeah we don't know either but its forcing us to believe in it) the various parts of this new collection are beautifully packaged and we bet will smell a treat.  Great use of the window space too with the use of this circular vinyl focusing the customers eye view straight onto the product.
