Dolce&Gabbana//Bond Street,London

The Dolce&Gabbana flower patches.
With a view straight into the store, this window scheme works rather well. The colour contrast with the bright green faux grass and the beige/cream colours of the interior, allow the display to stand out, even if it is placed on ground level. Floral patterns, sunglasses, shoes and other accessories form the ideal D&G spring outfit with an attitude. Everyone is going rather spring-mad at the moment with their display schemes, so this one is very appropriately British, considering how loved and well looked after the majority of the gardens are in this country!



Emporio Armani//Bond Street, London



I can't say I was very impressed with the Emporio Armani window scheme which is on at the moment. It consisted, as you can see above, of neon lighting tubes outlining a human form in an outgoing, energetic pose over the mannequins, showcasing the clothing. I felt it was a bit to much of a distraction rather than an attraction for the windows.
I did though like the interior of the store. I loved the contrast between the concrete palate, the pillars as a form of lighting and the monotone merchandise on the top floor with the sudden introduction of red, drawing all the daring ladies to the lower ground.


Anya Hindmarch//Bond Street, London




Anya Hindmarch's store on Bond Street is preparing for the summer months by introducing a nautical theme to their windows. Small flags and metal rods form a mast, with ropes and an anchor draped around the display while the mannequin bust holds a telescope. I get the impression of delicacy. The display looks fragile and doll-like which portrays her merchandise rather well with a good attention to detail.

Matjaz Tancic//Mimicry


On saturday I came across this exhibition by Matjaz Tancic at the Robert Young Gallery just off High Street Kensington on Holland Street. What caught my eye - i'm not going to lie - was the vinyl of the 3D glasses on the window. Im so glad I popped in to have a look, because I had never experienced 3D photography before.
The images on show were shot both in London and Slovenia, where the artist is from. Tancic visually integrates man with both natural and urban landscapes through the exciting, new medium of 3D photography.
When looking through the 3D glasses that are provided for you at the gallery, the images come alive. It's truly amazing how this artist has taken this technique and incorporated it into contemporary photography.
If you have the time, I advice you head down there and check it out. It's on until the 21st April.
