At the redesigned 10,000-square-foot Designer Studio at Harrods' landmark Knightsbridge store, fashionistas now enter through pink glass tunnels and meander through smoked-glass merchandising fixtures that connect such high-end collections as Marc Jacobs, Cacharel and Sonia Rykiel. Existing windows dressed in metal-bead and chain curtains allow natural light in while infusing a distinct '70s style to the space.
