Support the Michael Kors "Watch Hunger Stop" campaign

Michael Kors releases new limited-edition watch to help fight world hunger

Michael Kors is pleased to announce a new, limited-edition watch as part of the 100 Series, the specially designed watch collection offered in support of the brand’s global WATCH HUNGER STOP campaign. For each 100 Series watch sold, 100 children in a hunger-stricken area will receive a nutritious meal.*

The new, limited-edition watch is being launched to mark the second year of Michael Kors’ long-term partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), an initiative dedicated to helping end world hunger.

As with the other styles in the 100 Series, the new watch design is based on Michael Kors’ bestselling Runway watch, this time in rose gold-tone stainless steel with a detailed map of the world etched on a striking gray-blue dial. Michael Kors’ signature is engraved on the back, along with the campaign name, WATCH HUNGER STOP, and the messages “1 WATCH = 100 MEALS” and “LIMITED EDITION.” The unisex design is available in mid-sized and oversized versions and will be sold in specially designed packaging that highlights the goal to WATCH HUNGER STOP. While this watch is being produced in a limited edition, sales of the other watches in the 100 Series are ongoing and to date sales have generated enough to provide approximately five million meals.

The new watch will be available exclusively in Michael Kors stores worldwide and online at michaelkors.com beginning in October 2014. It will retail for $295.

The limited-edition 100 Series watch highlights one of the most important aspects of WATCH HUNGER STOP: the brand’s development of special products dedicated to supporting the global philanthropic campaign. “My goal in creating these pieces is to offer something desirable that not only raises money but also raises awareness,” says designer Michael Kors. “When you wear a 100 Series watch, you become an ambassador for the cause, and so far the response has been amazing. We’ve helped WFP deliver close to five million meals to hungry children through sales of the original 100 Series watch, and we have high hopes that this new limited-edition design will add to the momentum.”

Inspired by London, Burberry FLAGSHIP OPENS in SHANGHAI

Bringing London to Shanghai
British luxury brand Burberry will mark the launch of their new Shanghai flagship, Burberry Kerry Centre, by bringing London to Shanghai.

Consumers globally will be able to follow the event live on dedicated Burberry social streams.

Inspired by London
Inspired by 121 Regent Street, the brand’s global flagship, Burberry Kerry Centre brings its London flagship experience to life in the heart of Shanghai. Incorporating British craftsmanship and materials, the space reflects the architectural design concept developed by Chief Creative Officer, Christopher Bailey. The flagship brings the brand’s digital world to life in a physical space, where customers can experience every facet of the brand from events, to music, to heritage, while housing the fullest breadth of Burberry collections in Asia.

Store Experience
Located over three floors in the center of Shanghai’s Jing An district, Burberry Kerry Centre has been designed to offer multi-sensory experiences for its customers and communities, featuring exclusive products and services. Part event space, part entertainment hub, part store, the flagship is a dynamic and luxurious new brand environment.

Highlights include:
A dynamic illuminated façade responding to both programmed animation and the outdoors while organically interacting with natural light.

• Evolution of the Burberry Retail Theatre concept in China, offering immersive audiovisual experiences via 40 video screens and 130 speakers throughout the store, including the first digital brand gallery in Asia.

Experience the event on WeChat: As part of the London to Shanghai event, Burberry and social communication app platform WeChat and Weixin have collaborated to replicate the entire event on mobile, by creating a parallel experience on the platform.  Before the event, users on the Burberry WeChat platform will be able to take part in a Burberry journey from London to Shanghai by shaking, swiping or tapping their devices to interact with a series of London and Shanghai skylines – making use of "hot spots", a new functionality developed by Burberry with WeChat and Weixin.

After the event, users can explore the event within interactive panoramas using a newly developed tool which allows users to immerse themselves in the event by exploring dynamic, 360° views of the space, zooming in to reveal hidden, exclusive content and event details. The experience on the WeChat and Weixin platform will form the deepest, most interactive form of Burberry social storytelling to date. The launch of this activity marks the second stage of an innovation partnership announced earlier this year.
