It can't be understated on how big New York Street is at Paramount Studios. Spanning across several mock "city blocks", we set up the "Scent and Beauty Marketplace" in the block towards the back. It gave enough room to fit people in, but also wasn't so expansive that we would need to fill a lot of space with visuals and decorations.
In the portfolio of BPG brands, Shiseido, Dolce and Gabbana, Laura Mercier, Hermes, and Issey Miyake were featured with their own dedicated sections.
For Hermes, they showcased their products along with a photo booth with their pattern as a backdrop. There was also a coffee bar where a barista would serve guests with a cup of coffee art.
Laura Mercier's booth featured a product showcase, live try-ons for their lipstick line, and interactive quizzes for the guests. I created the signage for the booth and building as well as graphic design for the quizzes.
Shiseido was fashioned like a retro magazine stand. Like the other brands, we designed custom window graphics and signage for the newspaper stand that featured their "Tsubaki" or Camellia logo bug.
The theme for Dolce & Gabbana was that of a traditional Italian market. There was a guitarist playing live music, branded Gelato cups, and a backdrop where attendees could post their selfies.
The Edison was the only venue that was not hosted at Paramount for the Sales Event. It was a unique location that boasted industrial/steampunk decor and there was a live DJ.
To take advantage of the space, myself and Bryan Capri took 50 years of japanese Shiseido commercials and cut them into a 20 minute seamless loop that played on TVs and projectors around the venue.
As the club is underground, when the guests walked in on ground level, they were greeted with the Shiseido logo on the floor, made possible by a custom gobo mounted to a Leko light.
I supplied the vectors for this and also designed the cocktail signs and miscellaneous collateral that was displayed in the Edison.
