Designed to keep pace with Zara and H&M, the new 2,000-square-foot Maska store draws shoppers in from the get-go, with a storefront display of mannequins in a fluorescent patterned-acrylic frame.

Inside, the predominantly white store is punctuated with fuchsia accents and periodic bold damask wallcoverings. Playful feature tables are used in lieu of metal racks, a waterfall chandelier brings a decidedly feminine touch, and a rear graphic wall adds a dramatic focal point.
