The Significant Other

As two weeks of tradeshow coverage come to a close, I wanted to end with something exceptional.  I found just that in this installation at MRket, one of the larger, more ‘old school’ tradeshows.  The installation were a collaboration between BKLYN Dry Goods, (which I recently mentioned in my 2011 round up) and the great Michael Macko, a menswear veteran and Valet.‘s editor at large.  Composed of six vignettes, in two sets of three, the installation was the first thing that greeted show attendees. Each one conveyed a different theme – from Woodsman to World Traveller – and incorporated products from the show that were handpicked by Macko.  Jahn and Kurt of BKDG lent their exceptional merchandising skills and vintage props to complete each one.  The level of detail that went into the entire project was astounding, I tried to capture as much as I could in the below photos below, which I hope convey’s the scope and impressiveness of it all.  Jump to a theme below and see many more photos on Flickr.  – M
