I had as much fun Live Monogramming at the MCM flagship store as my usual live fashion illustration.

By the way, did you know that MCMwas initially named after Michael Cromer who founded and launched the brand in Munich. It was later on when it was acquired by Korean entrepreneur Sung-Joo Kim, then it was renamed Mode Creation Munich. It doesn’t really matter I guess, as MCM still stands for luxury travel goods that embodies the bold, irreverent and aspirational for many of its fans.

Would you have guessed that these leather bag tags and cotton totes were all hand painted freehand and without using any stencils? I had actually brought along a ruler and masking tapes but found that I didn’t need them after all.
