"The GQ Lounge concept has proved an enormous success for GQ and all our advertisers who have participated," said Peter King Hunsinger, vice president and publisher of GQ. "They tell us that The GQ Lounge has proved to be a perfect environment for an intimate and personal session of world-class brand-building." Some of the advertisers' cutting-edge installations will include: Paul Mitchell Systems' two back-lit lenticulars (3-D structures) representing his product line; Kenneth Cole's trademark provocative graffiti-like phrases will be spelled out in large, white vinyl letters inside bathroom stalls. The stalls will also hold magazine racks with advance reading copies of Cole's new book Footnotes, to be published this month; David Yurman's installation will feature a special Yurman lounge with titanium-draped banquettes and spheres displaying the designer's jewelry; a spot-lit Toyota Solara will be displayed in front of DragonBar; and each of Pernod Ricard's brands -- Jameson, Martell, Chivas and The Glenlivet - will have its own distinctive area within the lounge with a specialty cocktail. The first-ever GQ Lounge was created and brought to life by the magazine in 2002 with the GQ Lounge at the Sunset Room in Los Angeles that attracted celebrities as diverse as Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Jesse Jackson, Tobey Maguire and Vince Vaughn. It was also the site of a Grammy party, an NAACP NAACP in full National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Oldest and largest U.S. civil rights organization. It was founded in 1909 to secure political, educational, social, and economic equality for African Americans; W.E.B. Du Bois and Ida B. Image Award party and a birthday fete for Paris Hilton. The GQ Lounge New York at Pressure hosted events ranging from Broadway cast parties to celebrity karaoke. The second GQ Lounge Los Angeles was held earlier this year at White Lotus and drew even more celebrities and special celebrations. Unlike many one-time-only events, The GQ Lounges bring America's hottest cities two weeks of the coolest DJs and music acts against a backdrop of stunning video installations. The next stop for The GQ Lounge is Miami, where it will have its Grand Opening at Mynt on November 12, 2003. |
