Tods, London

Retail Store Windows

We adore this brands' visual merchandising although they can tend to either go for it with a full on scheme, narrative, props and so on and then the next minute they only have a large format graphic with a few products. Maybe this is their strategy? (we cant imagine its a budgeting issue). Anyway, we love this bar concept, the T Club complete with prop bar and bottles on the top shelves in repetition format.

Robinson Meyer

When Biden took office, he was broadly popular, helping the narrow Democratic majority in Congress pass a COVID-19 relief bill and send out $1,400 checks.
