MCM is once again challenging the boundaries of fashion and innovation with its latest adventure, the “From München to Mars” campaign.

 

Celebrating German engineering and craftsmanship since 1976, MCM’s bold initiative showcases its vision and commitment to a global tech-savvy audience, seeking to inspire and captivate with a narrative that extends beyond our world.

 

This ambitious campaign features an all-star cast of talents, including legendary actor Matt Dillon, rising star Zelda Adams, and model Steph Shiu.

 

At a recent press conference, Adams, accompanied by an astronaut, discussed the mission, highlighting the unique combination of fashion and futuristic exploration that defines MCM’s latest project.

Central to this interstellar journey is the Diamant 3D bag, a creation of MCM’s innovative team under the guidance of global creative director Katie Chung.

 

This bag reinvents the classic Diamant clutch, featuring a striking three-dimensional design that combines style and practicality.

 

Available in a range of luxurious materials such as cow suede, fine Italian calf leather, silver metallic calf leather, and MCM’s iconic Cognac Visetos, the Diamant 3D is destined to be a must-have accessory for the season.

 

Katie Chung explains: “Our journey started with a simple pocket design, evolving into a 3D rendered bag.”

“The Diamant series, inspired by the Visetos diamond pattern, embodies the essence of functional pockets. These origami-folded pockets reveal a diamond within the Visetos monogram, and the Diamant 3D’s zippers enhance its utility, making the pockets three-dimensional and cargo-like.”

 

The “From München to Mars” mission is an example of MCM’s innovative spirit. Along with the Diamant 3D bag, the collection includes the austere Cognac Visetos backpack, state-of-the-art eyewear, and key ready-to-wear pieces in futuristic metallic silver and the classic Cognac Visetos.

 

President Sung-Joo Kim explains: “Our motto, From München to Mars, is about transcending boundaries. We aim to meet the needs of digital nomads by pushing the boundaries and leveraging new technologies. AI plays a crucial role in this campaign, driving both innovation and sustainability.”
