Intricate wood beam details on the ceiling, featuring white washed wood slats, further help delineate the store’s multiple shopping areas. White washed wood, soft maple cladding, painted brick walls, and blackened leaning floor mirrors help complement the studio theme, while glittery mica plaster walls throughout further speak to the feminine aspect. Eight fitting rooms will be nestled towards the rear of the store featuring plaster walls, white washed wood slats, soft maple beams, and shimmery coin curtains.
