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.
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.
Chris Vernon-Smith, our Creative Director, said: “Michael Kors is a world-renowned brand, so it was great to be able to work on this project and help supplement the global launch of its Spring 2019 collection with a series of pop-up experiential activations across Europe.
Because of the nature of the brand, it was crucial that the environment we created was high-end, extremely visual and looked great on social media.
We were able to achieve this by not only finishing the build to an extremely high spec, but also utilising our technical expertise to ensure the experience was seamless and looked as sharp on social as it did in-store.”
