Katherine Cosmetics | Retail Concept from Christine Rossi

Katherine Cosmetics | Retail Concept

Katherine Cosmetics is a blooming cosmetics company and lifestyle brand with a fresh look at makeup as it intertwines with the lives of girls and women. Chris Rossi Studio created this retail concept based on the brand mission for their roll-out of in-store locations within Dillards across the United States. A high-end yet casual place for women and girls to gather, enjoy a cup of coffee and good conversation while playing with makeup (and charging their cell phones) was the program with for this concept. Finishes for the store were zebra wood, white canvas and antique mirror to compliment the existing brand design.
