Clarks, London

We're still slightly upset that this brand closed their fantastic flagship store along Regent street earlier this year as they were showcasing some incredible visual merchandising schemes which were never fully implemented across all of their stores.  The brand do however still have their Oxford street store and of course a big nod to the season with their amazing moulded shoe trees.

Clarks has been rocking the high street over that last while and have launched some amazing schemes at their Regent street store.  Sadly, in a way, they have moved from the more traditional closed backed window spaces to these open backed windows which is an understandable move although it does unfortunately slightly limit what can be done within the spaces they have.  Still, we'll keep checking back to see what they do with them anyway.

Can you beleive that we are already into AW18.....and no doubt back to school windows will be creeping in very soon too.  However, if you feel the need to see something uplifting then check out this incredible installation at Clarks right now.  Working in conjunction with Harlequin-design.com the amazing team at Clarks have yet again wowed us with an amazing scheme.  This Trigenic window instillation uses the brands actual product which have been individually suspended with each shoe programmed to move in a perfect wave sequence.  The motion symbolises the way the product allows you to move naturally and highlights the flex points that are so important to this product.  What ever will they think of next, eh?  We've included a video below of the scheme although with blogger being so fickle we're not entirely sure it will quite work as we would like although you can view it in all is glory on our facebook page anyway (link below).

Its that time of year again and so incredible to see so many retailers celebrating this amazing event all across London.  Pride flags are everywhere right now with freedom flag colours draped, hung, stuck....graphics, vinyls...you name it.  Clarks is always one of our favourite places for schemes and their Regent street store in particular.  This rainbow garland created from 7,500 print and laser cut words were used to generate this rainbow garland, designed and installed by the team at Clarks in conjunction with those lovely guys at www.harlequin-design.com  We're sure this will be appreciated by the marchers on route either dancing, shimmering or just plain old celebrating passed here today.

It must be incredibly hard work to take a brand like Clarks, send it into the stratosphere and keep it there, but this is what the team have done yet again throughout 2017.  Their latest installation with the strapline 'Magic is in the Making' is another corker from this staggering brand.  Do go and check this out if you can as what we cant capture in a still image is the conveyor belt of products moving across the windows of this flagship store along Regent street.

Clarks have been on our radar for quite some time now as they have been producing some really exciting schemes at their Regent street store, and just look at this little gem.  Fans placed and embedded on the floor in their windows create a gentle movement of the material above quite literally creating a graceful motion.   This has been one of the most exciting and dramatic renaicances of a brand that we have spotted in a long time and its firmly on out favourites for 2017.

Wow, who could have imagined that this brand would rocket from the land of the fuddy-duddy to become such a major highlight on the high street? What is also remarkable is the energy behind this brand.  So much of the high street looks so damned bloody awful right now and we are really struggling to find those gems out there to show you.  We will show you what is happening of course although sadly there is so little innovation it is an uphill struggle. What the hell is London doing we ask?  Thank goodness for brands like this.

Showing shoes by the truck load is clearly well and truly relegated to the archives of this brand as they forge ahead once more like they own the high street.  With just one, yes one product in their flagship store windows right now supported with a giant graphic background their confidence as a retailer seems to know no boundaries and we welcome this approach wholeheartedly.  Enough of our gushing though.

We have gushed a little over this brand during 2016 (and rightly so), but then when a brand has been around for as long as this one and it isn't relying on the good old British hook or crutch of nostalgia in order to keep going or a faux heritage, but....but forging ahead through the decade, we look up from our screen.  Fantastic cut outs and the kind of scheme we would expect to see at Tiffany (albeit a much larger version of Tiffany) communicates the continued confidence of this brand on the high street.  2016 certainly has shaken all of us (we feel) and the year has been a turning point in so many ways whether political, social, economic or cultural.  However, change is good.  So, the deal is Clarks, if you keep innovating, changing and developing throughout 2017 we will keep talking about it, OK?  Now lets see these amazing schemes translated and flowing into and through the interior of the store?

Clarks throughout 2016 have proved to be the VM gift that just keeps on giving (at least at their Regent street store).  We've lavished lots of love in the direction of this brand and rightly so; remember when they were not so cool?.  Looking better and better with each scheme this brand is rocketing.  A multitude of shoe lasts in White and repetition format form the backdrop to this scheme with the strap lines, 'Simple. It's Complicated' and 'For Real' with just one, yes one product in these huge windows.  Thats a confident retailer for you.

We have tended to gush a little over the windows at Clarks although only as their latest schemes have been such a welcomed departure from what we are used to seeing at this brand. Showcasing their Athleisure products (actually only three products in their Regent street windows in total; thats confidence in this product for you) and a supporting online presence which is highly comparable to many luxury brands, this scheme is a leap ahead in footwear presentation and we just hope that they keep them coming.

The presentation at Clarks just gets better and better.  The latest scheme appears as a curated collection of Butterflies and Insects as in the type of thing you might come across in a Natural Museum collection.  Historically, this type of collecting was very popular during the Victorian era (these ones are not real of course) in order to be studied by specialists.  In this magnificent radiating format this brand just couldn't look any more confident.  We're keeping our fingers crossed that this approach is working for the brand as it does look rather spectacular and is a much appreciated visual impact on the high street.

Wow, this brand has never looked so cool and so incredibly confident.  Gone are the mountains of shoes which allows us to focus on a few really great products.  Yes. we know this brand has a wide range of products to select from but do they need to show every single one, no.  Soles in a repetition format of their latest Trigenic footwear concept forms the background here with just a few selected products on which the eyes of the viewer can focus.  Crisp, new age-like and fantastic to see this store along Regent street having its Renaissance moment.

Wow Clarks is clearly under very creative leadership as this is the second super creative scheme we've seen from this brand.  OK, well this is probably the flagship store so of course its going to get the best of the best therefore if you have a local store you will no doubt see a rather watered down version of this scheme.  If this is the case just check out our video and drool.  Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4YzM4RGj2Y

Have seen Clarks new installation yet?  No? then here's a snapshot for you and how different does it look from the dusty old brand it once was?  If you happen to be along Regent street then do go and take a closer look.  With their Night and Day windows in Blue and Gold this really is rocking the high street and such a pleasure to see this brand not afraid to leap forward.

This is rather an odd scenario.  Why odd we hear you ask?  Well, it is not very often that we see really interesting and cool presentation but the product itself is actually not very desirable.  It seems that we need a name for this type of presentation but we cant think of one right now.  Anyway, Clarks is looking super cool but would you shop here?  Maybe the answer is yes and that you already do although we always strive to look for the aspiration, the less ordinary and the interesting ourselves and while the presentation does provide this, the product doesn't?  This brand certainly ticks a lot of the right boxes in their presentation although does the product now need to catch up or is the interesting presentation setting us up for failure and disappointment in what is being sold?
