MCM unveils Futurists ad campaign

German luxury pioneer MCM has unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2015 campaign, “We are the Futurists”, which will launch worldwide in July. Shot by the Munich-born photographer Daniel Sannwald, the campaign uses a global cast of forward-thinking talents from the worlds of art, design and culture, including Chinese supermodel Ming Xi, New York-based artist Tali Lennox, Korean tattoo artist Noma Han, Swedish dancer/choreographer Benjamin Milan and multi-disciplinary artist Juliana Huxtable.

Experimental textures and futuristic hardware

Chosen for their creativity and fearless outlook, each talent takes on a Futurist persona to form a new world where anything is possible. Each Futurist is paired with a bag from the MCM AW15 collection whose visual aesthetic matches their own: featured bags include the Milla, Berlin, Heritage Weekender, Transformer and Munich.

MCM's AW15 collection was inspired by outer space and the boundless feeling of exploration which it inspires. The influence of outer space is reflected in the collection by the details of innovative materials, experimental textures and futuristic hardware.

The MCM campaign manifesto states: "We are the wanderers, innovators and creators of tomorrow who understand that the journey is more important than the destination. We are defined not by the world we live in but by the world we create. We are the Futurists.”
