#TiffanyValentine

Tiffany's Valentines day display is not as show stopping as their recent Christmas scheme. However, it is a lovely scheme with light pastel backgrounds and golden arrows creating a heart and pointing to the product in the middle. The attention to detail is beautiful and Tiffany have created a luxe valentine scheme without an artificial bright pink or red rose in sight.

Michael Kors

Michael Kors' scheme on Bond Street contrasts luxe monochrome with a natural green backdrop. The walls and blocks incorporate real plants to create a bright and fresh Spring scheme.

Lanvin

Lanvin are one of my favourite brands for VM as they are so different from other luxury designers. Their unusual mannequins show the brands fun personality. This scheme in particular focuses around the large 'LOVE' letters with red and black styling to reference the upcoming valentines day.

Dior townhouse

Dior have been referencing the townhouse on a number of occasions over the past year, including at their Harrods exhibition last year. And are now showcasing it in their Bond Street windows. Previously the brand have used the townhouse theme on a mini dolls house like scale however now it is now much larger and filling the window space. The scheme is chic and pretty and compliments Dior as a brand. The colours used reference a Parisian Spring and are miles away from the current rain in London.

Smythson

This bright scheme at Smythson shows the power of good lighting! The spotlights used add a dramatic, theatrical atmosphere to the window and enhance the bright colours of the product. Both windows use contrasting colours with the first window showing a selection of pink, yellow and lavender blue and the second window showing a more natural palette of green, red and brown. The windows feature a variety of stacked presents yet looks very Spring! 





Smythson: Bond Street, London

Stella McCartney

The product definitely steals the show in this simplistic window. The scheme incorporates neon scaffolding with marble effect blocks with cut outs to display their new season clutch bags. The three mannequins display Stella McCartney's latest collection which focuses on heavy embellishments and pastel colours contrasted with black.

Miu Miu Brights

Miu Miu are one of my favourite brands VM wise as their displays are always simple yet bright and fun. This brand do not need to try to hard with their displays as their product is so interesting on it's own with lots of embellishments and contrasting colours. I particularly like the baby blue shoes with orange sequins!! The translucent mannequins are a regular feature in Miu Miu's windows and are interesting without stealing the limelight. The textured panels pick out the colour details of the product whilst also adding height and filling the space.

Marc Jacobs x Kate Moss x Playboy

Playboy have commemorated their 60th birthday with a photoshoot by celebrity photographer Mario Testino, featuring Kate Moss! Marc Jacobs have decided to create t-shirts with these photographs on and donate all profits to charity amfAR which focuses on abolishing aids. This collaboration forms the focus of  the windows at Marc Jacob's Mayfair boutique. Showing large graphics and a mannequin dressed in a sparkly dress, this window is very simple yet depicts exactly what the brand is trying to promote ... Kate Moss and Playboy! 



The second window features the brand Christmas scheme which simply shows a lifesized white unicorn and a mannequin wearing a beautiful deep red sequinned dress, and of course ... snow
