Scarlet is a landmark in the Little Rock fashion industry. The 5,500 s.f. flagship storefront was designed as a shopping destination with other business destinations within.
A full scale salon and interior design showroom were integrated at the rear of the store to create more energy as well as increased foot traffic through the retail space. A pallet of black and white with accents of antique brass served as the basis of design allowing for the ever-changing clothing to really be the focus. The space-planning of this store was really crucial in order to allow for sight-lines to all corners of the store. Centralized dressing rooms situated on an angle were located adjacent to the cash wrap, so the stylists could engage with the clients. It was essential to the owner, the dressing rooms and racks be well lit to best showcase the merchandise. An effective lighting package was developed with cove lighting, recessed linear lights, decorative pendants, and LED back-lit niches.
