If you’re looking for true British class, then you don’t need to look further than Fred Perry. While other fashions have come and gone, Fred Perry t-shirts have lasted the test of time. For more than half a century the FP brand has been synonymous with style and fashion.

And to add to the continuing success, the fashion brand has paired up with McKenzie to create a range of awesome new polo shirts for JD Sports.

No joke, Louis Vuitton knows how to make a scene stylishly.

Check out this YouTube snippet of their designer window display with a difference.

Taking the average woman on the street as an innocent bystander, you can’t help but watch as your eyes are drawn to LV’s Speedy history conveyor belt around the perimeters of the store.

This clever conveyor installation pushes the iconic Speedy bags along through time mimicking the belts you find in airport arrivals.

Zipping back and forth between the years to showcase a rich history of what has become one of the most classic and notorious “It” bags of all time, easily rivalling Chanel’s infamous 2.55 style.

This is retail design with a difference, as rarely do luxury brands manage to pull off presentations of their archives with such style without appearing overtly arrogant in doing so.

The dynamics of this particular window display is what we at Design 4 Retail really love about Louis Vuitton’s showcase, and one that’s guaranteed to make a lasting impression upon anyone who sees it.

Exciting times are afoot; always a fan of the beautifully presented window and in-store displays offered by international jewellery powerhouse, Tiffany, Design 4 Retail are pleased to hear that the established brand is moving in a less formal direction to engage a different type of consumer.

This new style is reflected in a new Tiffany store opening this month at University Village, Seattle. With doors constructed from glass rather than the formidable stainless steel monolithic entrances usually seen at Tiffany, the hope is that the relaxed retail environment will remove the intimidation some customers feel when entering the statuesque store.

The more casual approach is in tone with the change in sales technique Tiffany is experimenting with. Take for example their new tactic of displaying pieces on table tops, allowing customers to freely touch without asking permission, and their use of “organic” large sculptural figure displays to present their collection.

It’s leaps away from the fusty image of locked glass cabinets that used to come to mind when thinking of Tiffany jewellery. Fortunately, now the “look, don’t touch” attitude has disappeared to be replaced with a much more inviting “please look and feel free to touch”.

Retaining the upscale brand identity and achieving mass appeal as an approachable style house for fashionable jewellery can’t have been easy, but the retail design presentation now offered promises to clinch the deal for them.

It is expected that Tiffany will open as many as 70 stores in the style of Seattle’s University Village retail unit by 2020. If only there were a few more over in the UK!

It’s an impressive idea; the proposals for new shops and homes in Harlow, Essex are being publicly exhibited prior to planning applications being submitted.

The regeneration project at Clifton Hatch in Harlow will provide shopping facilities and 26 new homes. The exciting prospect, we at Design 4 Retail think, is that the consultation will ensure that the development is not only supported by the local community, but the design of the retail environment will be informed by the feedback outcomes from the exhibition.

The urban development just north-east of London will replace existing outmoded shops with new, bespoke designed retail units, that will support the local economy. Harlow council see the exhibition as providing an opportunity for residents to have a hand in improving the area, and the retail design of the shop units will play a strong role in attracting customers to regenerate Clifton Hatch.

It’s a wise move, and one that would do well to be adopted by other commercial property developers. The local population are inevitably affected by the arrival of new businesses, and shrewdly scooping out the public’s retail requirements will only assist in ensuring that business will be sustainable in the area.

The outcomes of the feedback and its incorporation in to the design of the project will be viewable in a secondary public exhibition during October 09.

The exhibition of design proposals for new shops and homes at Clifton Hatch, Harlow, will be held at the Royal British Legion Club in Latton Common Road on 14 September from 3pm to 7pm.
