Guide Review - Store Review: Riyash

When I first viewed these photos, I was extremely impressed with the way this retailer highlights the brands and apparel it sells. I love the simple signage they've used.

The racks and shelving show off just a few items in each department, another indicator that this is a high-end boutique. However, after looking at the photos for a while, I realized the mannequins in the windows are the only ones in these photos.

I'd love to see more of the merchandise and using mannequins or bendable forms would be a great way to show off these styles. What do you think?
