The MCM x Stefan Strumbel Spring/Summer 2015 Accessories Collection blends the best of [graphic artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artycapucines-vii) with MCM's classically designed accessories. Featuring bright colors against darker backgrounds, the MCM x Stefan Strumbel Spring/Summer 2015 Accessories Collection pushes the boundaries about what's acceptable when it comes to everyday accessories like a [backpack or wallet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcm-diamond); is it better to play it safe with a more neutral style or is a vibrant pop of color just the ticket for standing out in a sea of simplistic style choices? The ultimate choice is both up to your preference and if you can manage to get your hands on one of these designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Graphic Artistry in Accessories:** There is an opportunity for designers to collaborate with artists to create accessories that blend graphic artistry with classic designs. - **Bold Colors in Everyday Accessories:** There is potential for brands to experiment with vibrant pops of color in everyday accessories, challenging the traditional neutral styles. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** There is a market for limited edition collaborations between fashion brands and artists, offering unique and exclusive designs to consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can leverage graphic artistry and bold colors to create unique and eye-catching pieces. - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can collaborate with fashion brands to incorporate their artistry into products and accessories. - **Art and Fashion:** The intersection of art and fashion presents opportunities for artists and fashion brands to create innovative and visually appealing collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Accessories Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4ccccees-x-mietis.md) - [Upcycled Sea Plastic Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harper-collective.md) - [Collaborative Patterned Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tote-bag.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md) - [Graphic Luxurious Accessory Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-social-social-club-5.md) - [Playful Expansive Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collab-with-takashi-murakami.md) - [Eyewear Collection Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcm-eyewear-capsule-collection.md) - [Backpack-Shaped Premium Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcm-diamond.md) - [Cutting-Edge Wearable Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttingedge-wearable-furnishings-mcm-wearable-casa-intersects-luxury-fashio.md)
