The BKc, SF In-Store Cam : Whether or not they like to admit it, many people are camera shy, and that’s completely normal human nature. The response many give when posed with the question, “Is it alright if I take your picture for our blog?” is almost always instant embarrassment, followed by self-conscious actions like straightening their clothes and looking at themselves in the mirror. After all, who wants to be or look unprepared for a BKc blog photo?

Luckily you guys and gals, our customers, are usually great sports about it and we greatly appreciate it. Because the truth is, everyone that enters our shops is more than just ‘blog-worthy’ and since we believe no two styles are alike, the diversity we see in San Francisco always excites us and in many ways inspires our own BKc Style + Character. Not to mention all the fun we’ll have documenting the progression of our shops and shoppers for the next 100 years. So thank you to all our photo-friendly guests, and to those camera-weary guests of ours: don’t be bashful and come prepared. Sometimes we simply want to capture a moment, either way consider it a hug of inspiration. You are an inspiration and we want to show the world your personal Style + Character and include you in our 100 Year Plan . . .

The BKc, Currency Converters: There’s a myriad of ways we work toward promoting The BKc while keeping the integrity of the brand, staying creative and tasteful is very much a challenging balance in and of itself. Recently, The Brooklyn Circus San Francisco participated in a local fashion event by providing an incentive to the gift bags being offered to the special guests. The incentive itself was a twenty percent off certificate redeemable here at our San Francisco shop. Although to some people it was just a ‘certificate,’ we did our best to create a gift in and of itself — a spot-on, hand-made reflection of The BKc Style + Character. The creative mills are running full-steam in San Francisco, exploring ways we can utilize printed materials to further The BKc Style + Character and The 100 Year Plan… What do you guys think?

The BKc, Hennessy Styling: This past December we received a call from the Art Buyer at Berlin Cameron United (a major advertising firm) about styling and adding our creative touch to a Hennessy ad campaign. The creative director Josh had visited the SF store and then the NYc store and fell in love with our creative consistency and felt it would be a great add the BKc touch to an “Art Basel Hennessy” rooftop photo shoot in Miami for their client LVMH. “Send us the brief,” The Bearded Man said and “we’ll see what the possibilities are.” After what could have easily been 60+ emails, countless conference calls, several digital presentations and mood boards, the BKc team was hired to style Hennessy’s 2011 roof top art campaign. “Count us in on a trip to Miami during Art Basel for work anytime” said Ouigi. We had no more than 72 hours from the final presentation to shop, pack and prepare for a 2 day shoot in Miami. Style 10 principals (male & female) and more extras then you can count on 2 hands, but all in all it was the time of our lives.

The Ads recently went to print and we’ve included some of them below check them out and let us know how we did. They’re currently running on the back covers of GQ magazine and all over the pages of some major international magazines, afterall it is LVMH– wouldn’t expect anything less. The Bearded Man expresses that none of this would have been possible without the professional help of his lovely assistants/stylist Shin Peru, Nchimunya Wulf, our Miami seamstress, Miami interns and NYc interns. Lastly, special thanks to the lovely creative team at Berlin Cameron for giving us total creative freedom on set. Check out the video. The BKc, Style + Character & The 100 Year Plan . . .
