The Bambi Award is the most important German trophy for international media and film. The bronze metal deer sculpture is given out every year to exceptional people of the industry and can be somewhat compared to the Oscar.

The other we had a look at the new MCM Spring/Summer 2012 Men’s Collection. The German luxury leather goods company, which is now owned and operated by a Korean firm, has certainly caught some up-wind these last couple of seasons. In the end of the day, people will always want something new and MCM is new… again.

Next to their signature monogram pattern, the line expands into more subtle styles as well, and introduces next season a new digi camo pattern in two colorways.

Some of you might know that German designer Michael Michalsky, does not only operate his own fashion label, but also acts as the creative director of luxury leather house MCM. Ever since the designer took over MCM has celebrated quite the comeback and therefore this new collaboration only seems natural.

In true MCM spirit, the iconic gold label tag of the leather brand has been placed on the tongue of the sneaker, sitting right behind the ankle strap.

After a phenomenal (no pun intended) first release from TISA, Phenomenon and German leather goods manufacturer MCM, the three brands have teamed up once again, this time adding a fourth partner, by way of Japanese retailer Liquor, Woman & Tears.

The new collection consists of many of the same items we saw before, including bags, belts, wallets, and other small leather goods. This time around, each piece comes in red or mocha, rather than blue, with the signature MCM all-over print being carried across each product. A few items are also offered in a clear format.

The MCM x Tisa/Phenomenon x Liquor, Woman & Tears Collection will be available Saturday, June 27th at Phenomenon stores in Japan, followed by an online release at Choiceisyours.jp on Monday, June 29th. The collection arrives at Liquor, Woman & Tears on July 4th, 2009.

Have a look at the full MCM x Tisa/Phenomenon x Liquor, Woman & Tears Collection after the leap.

After numerous previews from the TISA/Phenomenon x MCM Fall/Winter 2008 collection, we can finally give you a look at the complete line-up. The brand by Taz Arnold, TISA, teamed up with Japanese brand Phenomenon and German luxury leather goods manufacturer MCM on a clothing and leather goods collection.

The collection consists of bags, visors, New Era caps, jackets, t-shirts, hoods and more. Each piece of the collection comes in light blue and the signature light brown of MCM, all carrying the MCM signature all-over print. The collaboration will for sure give MCM as a brand a big push in Japan and in the US, considering that they have been basically gone for the past ten years, celebrating their comeback ever since ex adidas design director Michael Michalsky took over the creative director position of the brand.

In our opinion the leather pieces of the collection have a nice nostalgic and vintage feel and look to themselves, but part of the clothing is a little too much.

The TISA/Phenomenon x MCM Fall/Winter 2008 collection is now available at The Choice Is Yours.

Many more images follow after the jump.
