Kiehl’s Derek Zoolander Center For People Who Don’t Age Good
Anyone who has seen the first 2001 movie Zoolander starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson is familiar with the ‘Blue Steel’ visage and the importance of being ridiculously good-looking – which makes Kiehl’s the perfect marketing partner for the launch of the sequel.
The Derek Zoolander Center for People Who Don’t Age Good
On Tuesday, Kiehl’s Since 1851 officially unveiled The Derek Zoolander Center for People Who Don’t Age Good (DZCFPWDAG), a state-of-the-art, anti-aging center in the heart of New York City. A nod to the main character’s Center For Kids Who Don’t Read Good from the first movie, the Center, located at 77 8th Ave. in New York, is an over-the-top spectacle.
The opening fanfare was complete with a squad of ridiculously good-looking male models dressed in matching silver suits with piano key neckties, razor scooters, trumpeters, and drones buzzing overhead.
People gathered on the sidewalks to watch as the center’s boyish, lead scientist took the podium to declare how ridiculously excited he was to discover youth, and the entire presentation culminated with a chorus of celebratory confetti canons.
Following the spectacle, guests ascended the leopard-print carpet and entered the center, where they were invited to experience the 6.5 step youthification program, which works to combat the signs of aging.
Inside The Center:
The Center will be open to the public through Saturday, February 13th.
