American Apparel’s first London store is a breath of fresh air for Soho’s historic Carnaby Street.

American Apparel’s first London store is a breath of fresh air for Soho’s Carnaby Street, a dormant nexus of Sixties youth culture. Occupying three floors in historic Silver House, the store leverages a glass and steel stair to link the various merchandising zones to a showroom and offices above.

The illuminated glass facade serves as a linear sign for the store, inviting shoppers in with brightly lit supergraphics and photographic murals. Dark stained wood flooring is paired with a sealed concrete floor as a counterpoint to the crisp merchandising system and to highlight and foreground the colorful clothing.
