Illamasqua

Amalgam designer Carole Cobban is working closely with darkly glamourous make-up company Illamasqua to create visually dramatic new retail environments for sites both here in the UK, and overseas.

With several concession outlets now completed, including two in Selfridge’s London and Manchester stores, two stand-alone shops have followed. Carol continues to design for further concessionary outlets in the Middle and Far East.

‘Make up for your alter ego’, declares a neon message in Illamasqua shops. It’s a hint that we’re not dealing with a middle of the road brand here, which is the last thing you’d associate with the company’s owner, who is none other than Joseph Corre, of Agent Provocateur fame.

Corre’s company, Illamasqua, initially commissioned Amalgam’s Carole Cobban to help with design layouts and joinery fittings for new concessions in Selfridge’s London and Manchester stores.
