\n\tMCM is making its foray into the world of live shopping. The German luxury accessories brand has become the first luxury fashion brand to join Whatnot, the company revealed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs part of the brand\u2019s 50th anniversary, MCM has created and is selling products on its own channel \u2014 all in an effort to bring the brand\u2019s world to the next generation of consumers via interactive live shopping.<\/p>\n
\n\tReaching audiences through the interactive shopping format, the brand will be hosting its live selling from MCM\u2019s New York and Los Angeles flagship locations.<\/p>\n
\n\tNotably, live shopping is back in Vogue \u2014 it\u2019s become one of the major discovery channels and shopping formats for Gen Z. Whatnot\u2019s 2027 Consumer Trend Report released earlier this year reported that 47 percent of those surveyed said they have engaged in live shopping in 2026 more than in previous years.<\/p>\n
\n\tEspecially given more than 650,000 new buyers joining Whatnot every week, MCM said its launch on the platform meets younger luxury shoppers at the intersection of discovery, entertainment and commerce \u2014 and as a way to reach a new emerging luxury consumer through community-driven commerce.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cLuxury has to keep evolving in how it meets its clients. Launching on Whatnot brings MCM\u2019s products and stories into a live conversation, giving clients a more direct and participatory way to experience the brand. We\u2019re proud to challenge the conventions of luxury retail and build new relationships with our community, while staying true to the creativity and character that make MCM distinctive,\u201d a representative from MCM said in a statement, first shared with WWD.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor MCM\u2019s debut on Whatnot, the first livestream will be held by seller Corey Shapiro, also known as Vintageframes, who has sold more than 15,000 items on his account on Tuesday at 6 PM.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe MCM monogram is the rare thing in fashion that belongs to everyone who wears it,\u201d said Shapiro. \u201cFor fifty years it has crossed borders, cultures and generations, one pattern, worn by people from every walk of life and it still means the same thing: you belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tFollowing its debut, the brand will continue to announce future livestream shopping events on its official channel via whatnot.com and the Whatnot app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
