"I envision the MCL woman to be fashion forward, independent and poised. She has an eclectic wardrobe, wears her clothes with a distinct individuality, and has the confidence to experiment and accessorize with flair."

Matthew gathers his creative inspiration from many different eras. Ranging from classic Chinese antiquities to elaborate Renaissance motifs, and eclectic Art Deco style to grand Gothic sculptures, Matthew’s fascination with the arts infuses his creativity. He uses these strong influences and blends them with modern and quirky nuances to develop opulent MCL designs.

Taking an exuberant and artful approach to design, Matthew creates styles with an elegant and sophisticated spirit, which is exclusive to the MCL by Matthew Campbell Laurenza brand.
