A WICKER PORTAL LEADS STRAIGHT INTO TIFFANY & CO.'S NEWEST STORE.

Tiffany & Co. wraps a wave around a jewellery box in São Paulo. Studio Campana's woven wicker facade, dyed the brand's signature blue, curves inward to form a sculptural portal connecting every room. Framed as an intimate space you can step inside, rather than a showroom, it's proof a heritage house can hand its identity to an outside designer and come out with something sharper, not diluted.

LOEWE takes Pistachio to Formentera.

LOEWE Perfumes has chosen Dunas de Formentera as the setting for its Pistachio summer activation; a sensory takeover running through the end of August on Migjorn Beach. The brand's new Pistachio scented candle, handcrafted in Spain and housed in glazed terracotta, sits at the centre of a tactile installation woven into the hotel's architecture. Formentera is the first stop. New York, London, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Seoul follow.

Swiss Precision Meets Dubai Energy: On Opens at Mall of the Emirates.

Swiss performance brand On has opened its first UAE store at Mall of the Emirates in Dubai — a 265 sqm space featuring the brand's full CloudTec® footwear, apparel, and accessories offer. The opening marks On's third GCC location following Riyadh and Kuwait, with nine more planned across the region. What sets it apart is the community that was already there long before the doors opened.

12,000 Square Feet of Intent: SKIMS Opens on Regent Street.

SKIMS has opened its first standalone UK flagship on London's Regent Street; 12,000 sq ft, designed by Rafael de Cárdenas, and the brand's largest retail location in Europe. A Vanessa Beecroft sculpture greets visitors before they move through curved, tactile spaces housing the brand's fullest UK assortment yet. The opening lands alongside new flagships in Dubai and India. Physical retail, for SKIMS, is no longer a side note.

Hermès India's Windows Turn the Everyday Into the Extraordinary.

Hermès India's latest seasonal windows are built around the brand's annual theme, Venture Beyond — using fruit as an unlikely point of origin. Through meticulous prop-making and surrealist logic, a carved apple becomes a locomotive landscape and a banana peel becomes a gramophone horn. Playful, precise, and wholly original, the displays are a masterclass in using wit as a creative strategy.

Lacoste Dives Into A Summer Story On The Champs-Élysées

Lacoste has transformed its Champs-Élysées flagship into an immersive seaside escape for Summer. The activation spans window displays, in-store props, and visual merchandising, all anchored by a bold hand-painted red-and-white stripe. Underwater vinyl wraps, a striped diving platform, beach tennis paddles, and oversized parasols combine to turn the entire flagship space into a sun-drenched Riviera daydream.

The Ultimate Teaser As SKIMS Unveils Viral Regent Street Hoarding

SKIMS unmasks its first-ever UK flagship with massive new hoarding on London’s Regent Street. Marking the official countdown to a Summer 2026 launch, the striking street-level installation wraps the former Ted Baker site at 245–247 Regent Street. The newly erected facade serves as a high-impact statement, signalling the brand's shift from temporary pop-ups to a permanent, 12,000-square-foot flagship.

Moncler Brings Its Surreal "Puffy Summer" Tour To Chengdu

Moncler's global "Puffy Summer" campaign has landed at its Chengdu Taikoo Li flagship store, continuing a journey that has already captivated Milan and Seoul. The takeover translates the brand’s signature voluminous, puffy aesthetic into a lightweight, sun-soaked language. A giant inflatable octopus greets guests at the entrance, while an immersive underwater wonderland of whimsical seahorses, crabs, and flamingos fills the windows and interior spaces.

Peroni Transforms Covent Garden Into A Living Renaissance Masterpiece

Peroni transformed Covent Garden into a 3D Renaissance masterpiece with "Il Fresco di Peroni". This immersive installation used forced perspective to turn a 2D mural into a physical world guests could step into. Visitors were served fresh pints by illustrated "beer-bearers" pouring directly from the artwork. Blending classical marble textures with modern Italian style, the space celebrated the ritual of aperitivo.

Barbour Brings Heritage To Life On Banks Of Loch Ness.

Barbour reimagined its heritage at Loch Ness with a high-concept takeover at Aldourie Castle. Moving beyond static launches, the first-ever Tartan Supper Club blended traditional countryside activities with modern luxury. This multi-day experience featured an intimate sunset supper, layered tartans, and a performance by a local pipe band. It marks a strategic shift toward experience-led engagement, prioritising community and authentic storytelling over traditional campaigns.
