MCM celebrates US flagship store

German luxury brand MCM has opened its US flagship store - a two-storey, 4,000sq ft space in the heart of SoHo, the lively downtown New York City neighbourhood. Both industrial and modern, the space on Greene Street is inspired by the cross-section of fashion and technology while returning to the tradition of the German Bauhaus movement.

Designed by Kramer Design Group, the split-level boutique features clean lines, open spaces, an industrial edge and simplicity. There is also a nod to SoHo’s manufacturing past.

Exclusively in the SoHo store, MCM presents a space dedicated to its collaboration with acclaimed German pop artist Stefan Strumbel. Renowned for his artistic explorations with the conceptual Black Forest “Heimat”, Strumbel fuses classic and contemporary motifs with stylistic elements of street and pop-art. Through bold, colourful visuals and stunning installations, Strumbel's artworks are designed to spark the imagination.

The boutique, which carries MCM's ready-to-wear and accessories collections, features a dynamic media wall on the ground floor, beaming the latest campaigns, backstage exclusives and fashion shows.
