Beauty retailer Sephora (San Francisco) has opened an underground, 5400-square-feet store in Antara Fashion Hall in Mexico City, reports Women’s Wear Daily. The retailer partnered with Grupo Axo on the store, with a second Mexican location scheduled to open in mid-November in the Paseo Interlomas Mall.

Shoppers enter the Antara Mall space, which was designed by a joint Mexican and American team coordinated by Paul Loux, vice president of design for Sephora USA, through a large circular stairway descending from a mall entrance above. A circular 30-foot-high wall of blue LED lights encircles the stairwell with the central shaft of the circular stairway designed as a media wall.

The retailer plans to open additional stores throughout Mexico in 2012.
