It also helped us capture the closeness that Jackie O felt as a wife and mother, she was quoted by saying that she was "a mother first, a wife second, and the first lady last." She was a very subtlely glamourous person. Her style was simle, chic and safe but yet she always had great textiles and tastes (when redecorating the white house) and especially her infamous sunglasses!
For our space, it really centers arround our two countertops (above). We created a semi-circular shape very reminisant of the hats that Jackie O always wore. We had originally played around with the idea of doing a circular space but it was far to close to the oval office and we didn't want any politics, only style. Th tops of each countertop withh be glass shadowboxes and filled with pearls (another siniture of hers) and the lipsticks in our collection
There will be two vanites in the corner of the room. Each vanity will be complete with a circular seat to sit on and a three-fold mirror. The drawers on the side will be filled with the lipsticks in the collection so that the customer can pick them up and go straight to the register. On the vanity will be all four lipsticks in the collection so that they can be tested. There will also be a small glass canister for cotton balls and another for make up remover. We also would like to have a pair of sunglasses, maybe gloves, and a "how to" makeup book including personal pictures of Jackie O to better reinforce that yo are her...at least in our store.
Our display cases are fairly simple. A semi-circular shape, with shelves that will gradually ascend. We decided that simple would be best for our space and for customers who would simply like to pick up a package and run to their other errands.
