Scott Kerr sits down with Dirk Schönberger, global creative officer at German luxury heritage brand MCM to discuss how he's been taking the brand to new heights since joining in 2018. Dirk talks about leaving his era-defining role as creative director at Adidas to join MCM, bringing on Gen Z heavyweights Billie Eilish and Iann Dior as the new faces of the brand, the importance of talking to and listening to young consumers, introducing two new logo designs after 45 years, and why growing its shoe buiness is the next logical step for MCM. Plus: Seeing a future where MCM creates a cultural movement in the metaverse
