MCM House’s Charles Hinckfuss is a new breed of vendor returning glamour to Oxford Street, Sydney.
WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR EARLY CREATIVE INFLUENCES? From a young age I watched many foreign films and often the interiors in the movies would have more impact than the message itself.
COULD YOU TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND BEFORE LAUNCHING MCM HOUSE? The first store that I opened featured a collection of decorative items from the 1950s to the present day. This was the foundation of the MCM collection.
HOW DID MCM COME ABOUT – WHAT WAS YOUR PHILOSOPHY WHEN YOU OPENED AND HOW HAS THE COLLECTION EVOLVED? Classic contemporary design will always be at the heart of MCM.
DESCRIBE THE MCM LOOK IN A FEW WORDS. Again, clean classic and contemporary styling is the key to adding character but also creating an energetic living space.
