This weeks post has coverage from Collect: The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects, which was on at the weekend. The latest window scheme from Selfridges and all other display details.

A few inspirational pieces from Collect.



Black and white is still a huge trend and Joseph has done it in a minimal and stylish way, love the use of linear and curved lines.



Window illustrations at Norton & Sons.



Great contrast materials in the step structure at Dover Street Market in collaboration with Damir Doma. Acne has also experimented with wood as a window material.



Disheveled roses chained together to create a frame feature.



Angular props and tonal repetition at Anthropologie.



Fred Perry’s window collaboration with Christopher Raeburn, each design comes packaged with its very own parachute bag, this unique selling point and fab concept that have been translated into the window scheme. (Some images provided by StudioXAG)



Selfridges new scheme picks out the very best summer trends and events, showcasing each with a mannequin army and humorous touches in each window. Especially love the ‘my little pony’s’ and ‘Barbie dolls’ they are a great way to continue the story telling.

This week I was able to visit more exciting exhibitions and see the latest VM from the high street.

Fantastic installation by Pae White currently showing at The South London Gallery, the tonal threads add another element of depth to the piece; I especially loved the consideration of space and interaction with the viewer.



No 6, a concept store by Adidas, have also used the thread technique as textural backdrops for their windows; simple geometric shapes made from contrasting colour-ways makes the piece visually impactful.



The notion of craft can also be seen at Pick Me Up, which has just finished at Somerset House, showcasing the latest talent in graphic design.



This weekend saw Uniqlo open up a UT pop-up LON shop, set within Hoxton Gallery. Presenting their Uniqlo T-shirt collaboration and launching their UT app. Great use of projections, as a communicative tool. An oversized patchwork art installation was a strong focal feature in the space, Daniel Freeman a London based illustrator created this piece.



Summer time has arrived at Moschino.



Grouped multiples at Anthropologie, paper birds create movement in the window.



Focal windows at Margaret Howell and Liberty, communicating to the viewer of their pride and support for handcrafted products, showcasing the skill and history of the artisans who make them.



All in the detail at Tracey Neuls.



Fab directional signage around the store at Liberty promoting their outdoor living department, repeating these branded seed packets located at the lift. In conjunction with this is a suspended installation in their atrium space. Fab floral explosion!

This weeks post brings you the best from the VM and Display show which took place this week, Highlights from Proportion London's new collection launch and the RIBA Regents Street Window Projects great collaborations.

This year’s VM and Display show was full of great concept stands showcasing current work. Embellished planks by Sarah Feather Design.



DZD used the same format as last year, using this curved structure covered with foam roses and using lighting as enhancement.



Simple lines at Panache, Playful large format signs were displayed like a sign junkyard at Electro Signs.



Love the colour blocking textures at Matt Wingfield Studio.



Beautifully delicate wood sculptures at Replica.



I also popped into Proportion London Showroom for a peek at their new collection launch, which didn’t fail to disappoint. Great playful displays showcasing the interaction that can be created using the Harlequin kids range.



An update to their Series collection with this walker pose, love the colour graduation.



Proportion are leaders in experimental techniques and finishes and the new collection showcased their latest project, these distress finishes look amazing and have a smooth touch.



Bespoke is a menswear focus collection, Proportion have drawn on inspiration from the refined world of the Master Tailor mixed with a modern sartorial aesthetic.



Currently on at selected retailers is the RIBA Regents Street Window Project, which combines the skills of fashion and architects, as well as retail and culture.
Moss Bros designed by AY Architects, these wood sections concertina to fill the window. The inspiration for these panels comes from the details of a herringbone stitch.



Karen Millen designed by Mamou-Mani called ‘The Magic Garden’ seamlessly links the full run of the windows created out of light-diffusing mesh fabric.



Jack Spade designed by Carl Turner Architects, have referenced the stores New York origins in the architectural detail of the building facades.



Topshop designed by Neon have created this fantastic mannequin colour wheel, showcasing the full colour range of the season.
