MCM x Craig & Karl

Teaming up has never been more popular today with the majority of big brands working together to create amazing collections. This can certainly be found in the collaboration of the German premium leather brand MCM with Australian design duo Craig & Karl who lived and worked in between New York and London, two very big fashion capitals.

Look out for the distinctive and bold “eyes” that decorate each of these individual MCM’s purses, bringing about the excitement that this collaboration shows. Titled as Eyes on The Horizon, the extensive line consists of backpacks, purses, document cases, and not to forget key rings, being coloured with a pair of eyes peeking cheerily and cheekily through huge colourful sunglasses.

Although it is a strong contrast to MCM’s classic design, Craig & Karl can totally twist that to a much punchier yet exciting item. Perhaps the contrast is what makes it different to the rest of collaborations; it could be said that when two very different designs clash to make one item, it becomes a wholly daring product that may not be successful. However, they pair up very well and as much as both designs are different, they complement each other in terms of colour, shape and size. I believe there is no doubt that the generation of today’s young people will adore this collection and I’m sure that their products’ success will be the outcome of their wonderful collaboration.
