YSL - BEAUTY HOTEL
New.York - FASHION WEEK
CHALLENGES
Yves Saint Laurent Beauty wanted to gain visibility during New York’s iconic fashion week while reinforcing the brand’s Rock & Roll image by designing a 5 floors influencer /Pop-Up store for products launching.
STRATEGY
Great ideas require cultural adaptation.While the YSL Beauty Hotel was first launched in Paris, the concept needed to be thoroughly adapted to the New York vibe and scene. The transformed SoHo townhouse allowed for a self-discovery through five immersive experiences that highlighted key products and offered content moments with attitude, including a catwalk over a pool with an immediate pre-edited video-montage output. By day the space was open for consumers as a pop-up shop. By night, the space transformed into the ultimate fashion week party.
Each room will showcase YSL Beauty's latest launches, including the Rouge Pur Couture The Slim lipstick and Zoë Kravitz's new campaign for the classic Black Opium Eau de Parfum (the scent of which will be wafting through all five floors).
Expect endless eye candy from neon lights in the shape of the YSL logo, a lounge with purple sofas, a "study" with a bed to "express your wildest Black Opium fantasies," incredible views at the rooftop pop-up shop and YSL Beauty Café and a chic indoor pool. There will also be fragrance workshops and makeup counters to experiment with classic YSL Beauty offerings.
