While trends come and go, people will always be on the move. Luxury leather brand, MCM\u00a0knew this and took the opportunity to make its timely debut during the\u00a0budding travel culture of the \u201970s. Since then, its been sure to stay true to its craft driven\u00a0heritage.\u00a0The brand\u2019s latest collection, \u201cNomad\u201d is a nod to it\u2019s roots with a mindfulness for modern minimal aesthetic. Engineering and design are brought together when a uniquely synthesized weather proof\/rip proof fabric meets soft, full grain leather trims and hand crafted polished brass hardware. \u201cNomad\u201d features options in MCM\u2019s signature \u201cCognac\u201d colorway and a new all black addition with monochrome detailing and subtle branding. Each bag\u00a0has\u00a0been designed to be highly functional, yet versatile with its timeless shapes and silhouettes.\u00a0Backed by a purpose for sporadic travels with style, the new collection perfectly suits the busy lifestyle of model and Haze and Glory brand owner, Andr\u00e9 Hamann.\u00a0In a recent interview, he\u00a0talks to us about Berlin and the lessons he\u2019s learned on his ventures. Read our full interview with him below, and check out the collection here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got into modelling? What about your\u00a0fashion brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was working in an H&M in Vienna and a model scout \u201cdiscovered\u201d me. In the beginning I had to go to a lot of auditions until i finally got a job. After my first modelling job the spell was broken and more and more clients started booking me.<\/p>\n

I was always into fashion. Two of my friends wanted to start a fashion brand and we all have the same clothing style. My partners from \u201cHaze&Glory\u201d are based in Bali so our look represents the \u201ceasy going\u201d lifestyle.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s one of your essentials for travelling around?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always bring a hat with me wherever I travel to.<\/p>\n

What do you do before boarding? Get a cup of coffee, takeaway, magazine, book etc?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before boarding I always listen to music. I especially love listening to the band Daughter<\/em> \u2013 it calms me down before take off. If I don\u2019t have a night flight, I also get a big cup of coffee. I am addicted to coffee, I should really drink less of it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From all your travels as a model and a fashion brand owner, could you share some tips you\u2019ve picked up along the way?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you leave your house or hotel room ALWAYS double check if you\u2019ve packed your passport. I had to learn it the hard way and already missed two flights because I forgot mine.<\/p>\n

Do you have any place in particular you\u2019ve visited that really stands out in your mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cape Town and Bali. I love the people there and the laid back atmosphere. Being by the ocean calms me down.<\/p>\n

Can you share some of your favorite things to do in Berlin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the summertime I love just sitting by the \u201cPaul-Lincke-Ufer\u201d with friends. It is a nice area in Kreuzberg where the Spree river runs through the city. Whenever I have friends in town I take them to the Mauerpark on a Sunday. There is a nice flea market\u00a0and\u00a0karaoke in the park.<\/p>\n

What are some secret places in Berlin you can share?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like the Humboldthain Park in Wedding. There a lot of nice spots in there and it is not too crowded.<\/p>\n

Aside from modelling and brand owner, are you looking to branch out and do something else one day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve played the guitar for years and just started a band called \u201cFelan.\u201d I would love to go on tour and travel around the world with my band.

Can you remember the first time you came across MCM\u2019s iconic monogram?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A friend of mine was wearing a MCM backpack and I really liked it. That must be 4 years ago.<\/p>\n

What aspects catch your attention most with this new collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like the more low key pieces. For example my black MCM trolley. It is all black, but you can still see the MCM logo but it is not too obvious when you first see it. I find that very chic. The briefcase is just super handy. I take it to work with me everyday.<\/p>\n

\"Berlin<\/p>\n

How would you look to incorporate a particular item into your everyday?<\/strong>
Well I like black, and I wear black most of the time. And grey. I look for quality, and if something fits well with the rest of my clothes.<\/p>\n

What makes a product a \u201cluxury\u201d product in your eyes?<\/strong>
Usually the material or if it\u2019s hand made. If you put hours into making it very perfect, it\u2019s all in the little details that make something luxury. It takes hours to create an expensive bag, but most importantly it\u2019s the quality of the material.<\/p>\n

What do you look for when you\u2019re figuring out if something was made with great craftsmanship?<\/strong>
If I\u2019m looking for a bag, I have to make sure it\u2019s very durable. It\u2019s got to have good craftsmanship, to keep it from getting damaged on-the-go, because I travel quite a bit.<\/p>\n

How important is heritage with brands in today\u2019s day and age?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me it\u2019s not necessarily important how old the brand is, it matters more about the quality of it. The brand doesn\u2019t have to be older than 200 years, or new to the market, just important that something fits into my style.<\/p>\n

What do you consider aesthetically when you\u2019re looking to incorporate something into your everyday life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I have to choose, I have to say I go for something more timeless and classic, so I can wear it as long as I want to.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
