Michael Kors x Interview Magazine

Studio 54-Inspired Fashion Event & Experiential Brand Activation

Highlife Productions partnered with Interview Magazine, Michael Kors, and The Mavenry to transform The Fleur Room into a modern interpretation of New York City's legendary Studio 54, creating an unforgettable experiential event celebrating fashion, nightlife, and cultural iconography.

Inspired by the glamour and excess of the disco era, the event immersed editors, influencers, celebrities, and VIP guests in a reimagined nightlife experience where every detail reflected the unmistakable energy of one of New York's most celebrated cultural landmarks.

From custom scenic fabrication to live entertainment and immersive brand moments, Highlife Productions brought Studio 54 back to life for one unforgettable evening.

The Challenge

Michael Kors and Interview Magazine wanted to create an event that felt authentic to New York's fashion history while delivering an experience designed for today's social-first audience.

Rather than recreating Studio 54 literally, the goal was to reinterpret its spirit through elevated design, theatrical performance, and interactive moments that encouraged guests to engage with the environment and share the experience organically.

Our Solution

Working alongside The Mavenry, Highlife Productions transformed The Fleur Room into a contemporary disco destination inspired by one of the world's most famous nightclubs.

Every space was designed to deliver visual impact while supporting the overall story of the evening.

Highlights included:

• Complete experiential event production.

• Studio 54-inspired environmental design.

• Custom wheat-pasted branded step-and-repeat installation.

• Mirrorball performance stage.

• Custom scenic fabrication and décor.

• Professional disco dancers and interactive performers.

• Roller-skating performers inspired by the golden age of disco.

• The return of Studio 54's legendary white horse as an immersive photo moment.

• Luxury hospitality and VIP guest experience.

The result was a sophisticated environment that celebrated fashion, music, and New York nightlife while remaining unmistakably Michael Kors.

Creating Moments Worth Sharing

Luxury fashion events are about more than beautiful spaces—they're about creating memorable experiences that guests want to photograph, share, and remember.

Every installation throughout the venue was intentionally designed to become a "wow" moment, encouraging interaction while reinforcing the campaign's nostalgic yet contemporary creative direction.

By blending theatrical entertainment with immersive scenic design, Highlife Productions created an experience that extended well beyond the event itself through organic social sharing and media coverage.

Results

The Michael Kors x Interview Magazine event successfully transformed an iconic New York venue into one of fashion week's most memorable experiences.

Through immersive design, custom fabrication, luxury hospitality, and seamless production, Highlife Productions helped deliver a celebration that honored New York's legendary nightlife while showcasing Michael Kors' timeless glamour through experiential marketing.
