Changing attitudes, trends, and styles—and, in this instance as introduced by MCM, a shift in the geographical landscape, even strange lands—tend to drive fashion.
The upcoming Autumn/Winter 2024 collection from German luxury brand MCM is a perfect example of how tradition and innovation can coexist. With a nod to the cultural mosaic of Munich—the birthplace of the house’s famous design codes—this collection imagines a voyage from “Munich to Mars,” where the codes undergo a metamorphosis and reach uncharted territories.
The most recent collection embodies the brand’s principles of opulence, adaptability, and carefree living; it features both classic winter pieces and more contemporary touches. The collection, which Katie Chung conceived of and designed, was unveiled at Milan’s Palazzo Serbelloni. The ancient site is given a new life with features representing Mars and Earth, creating an atmosphere of mystery and awe while giving visitors a look into two separate universes. The two portals that connect Earth and Mars create a remarkable backdrop for the display of the collection. Famous Thai actor Mew (Suppasit Jongcheveevat) and fashion icons Saffron Sharpe and Savina Chow were among the important VIPs who were enticed by the dedicated concept of Palazzo Serbelloni to attend.
Pushing the Boundaries of Innovation
The Autumn/Winter 2024 collection by MCM offers a new take on luxury by reimagining classic styles and tinkering with heritage codes, all while pushing the limits of creativity and expression. Highlights of the season include the self-assured and sophisticated Diamante 3D and Diamante Soft, as well as the unique Black Label collection, which represents an evolution of elegance.
The MIRUM@ capsule represents a huge leap forward in environmentally aware luxury by introducing sustainable, plant-based leather alternatives, which are pushing the boundaries of sustainability. New fabrics like Laurel Denim Jacquard, Monogram Re-Nylon, refined grain leather, and metallic leather have taken center stage in ready-towear. Footwear styles such as metallic snow boots, monogrammed moccasins, and silver Swarowski ballerinas round out the range.
New AW24 models are available through the new eyewear collaboration with Marcolin’s virtual try-on technology, Deepixel. The addition of the new scent MCM Crush by Inter Parfums, Inc. further enhances the appeal. In a first peek at their Sustainable Travel Lifestyle Brand Collaboration, Jaden Smith and Sebastian Manes’s Harper Collective—a forward-thinking lifestyle luggage brand—and MCM are teasing three different suitcase styles for the AW24 season.
Versatility is at the heart of MCM’s AW24 collection, which caters to the needs of progressive individuals across all age groups and genders. The assortment of multipurpose items is crafted for busy lives, whether it’s commuting to work or traveling the world. It has innovative travel kits and accessories that allow you to go hands-free without sacrificing style.
