Hermès opened its new Beverly Hills flagship store with a Bounce-produced party so transformative, it almost felt like an entirely other place and time. And that's exactly what the production and design team behind the nuanced bash was going for: “We wanted it to transport you, so when you were walking into the space, you were really taken into another world. We were trying to achieve a sense of disbelief that you would experience while watching a film or a piece of theater,” said Hermès senior vice president of communications Peter Malachi. About 700 guests found a private warehouse in Culver City reimagined with dreamy vintage Hollywood and French flair, the original inspiration for which was drawn from a scarf specially commissioned for the new store. The red carpet arrivals backdrop mimicked the iconic Hollywood hills and sign.
