The Brief
Michael Kors is a world-renowned, award-winning designer of luxury accessories, footwear, clothing, wearable technology, eyewear and fragrances.
The company held the global launch of its new Spring 2019 Collection at an experiential event, The Infinity Space, in New York, featuring supermodel Bella Hadid. Immersing guests in the videos, images and music of the new campaign, using Dolby’s most advanced audio and visual technologies.
We worked with The Flash Pack Agency to deliver an in-store experience to shoppers at Michael Kors’ flagship Munich, London, Paris and Manchester outlets, to help launch the collection in Europe.
To complement the global launch, we were tasked with creating an ‘infinity room’-style photobooth environment in some of its key stores, for a social media activation.
The challenges we faced
As this was for a mobile, touring activation, the environment we built had to be durable, robust and designed in such a way that it would be easy to assemble, take apart and transport.
We also had to work within an extremely small footprint in each store. The dimensions we worked to were quite restrictive and there was a need to maximise all available space within the installation. And it wasn’t just the dimensions that were on the tight side. We had a four-hour install at each site too.
Parking and access at each venue was challenging, so creating a build which could be assembled modularly was important. We also had to account for disabled access within each store.
Finally, the screens had to be tuned to eliminate the ‘soap opera effect’ and ensure they would work and display properly within each social media photograph.
