German luxury brand HUGO BOSS is set to embrace the new brand world that will delight every cool and chic fashionista in the Philippines.
After its major brand revamp in 2022, HUGO BOSS is looking into the future in the Philippines with the launch of HUGO and BOSS, two strong brands that are clearly distinguished by their fashionable style but meet the same high standards of quality and fit, innovation, and sustainability.
“HUGO BOSS is ushering in a new era targeting the new and younger groups and turning them into fans of our brands. With HUGO and BOSS, we want to be more personal, emotive, and relevant which will help us connect to the new generation of trendy and stylish Filipinos,” said Judith Staples, Head of Marketing, Fashion and Lifestyle Brands at Lucerne Group.
The best of both worlds with HUGO and BOSS
Both brands will undertake a new, modern brand identity focused on younger Pinoy fashionistas. The entire collection design, store concepts, and omnichannel brand experience will be centered on a more playful and casual aesthetic while staying true to the brand codes of dressing excellence.
On one side, you have HUGO, representing the young, progressive Gen-Z. HUGO encourages young generations to go their own way and set trends instead of following them. HUGO stands for individualism and self-expression, allowing young ones to express their personality by the way they dress.
With the new collection under HUGO, authentic and unconventional styles come with a new logo representing the brand’s new boldness. A bold mix of contemporary and commercial pieces underlines the authentic HUGO DNA.
Meanwhile, BOSS focuses on success-oriented yet trendy millennials, ready to take on the world. BOSS is all about chasing one’s dreams, finding their own purpose, and being whoever they want to be. Wearing BOSS encourages one to lead a self-determined life: that everybody can be a BOSS.
BOSS’ new logo represents boldness and progress. Speaking to the younger generation, BOSS does not compromise on style. It is more modern, more contemporary, and more impactful than ever before.
A new timepiece collection to tickle the fashion senses of younger, Gen Z Pinoys
With this new brand development, HUGO BOSS recently launched its Spring/Summer 2023 collection under the HUGO brand.
Aligned with HUGO’s consistent championing for self-expression and individuality, the new timepiece collection features eight watches for the younger market which will allow them to express their personality.
#SHRILL
Shaking up the status quo, HUGO Watches’ #Shill is an innovative, attention-grabbing three-hand timepiece with an angular cushion-shaped case. This edgy watch with strong Gen Z appeal features a minimalist dial encircled by a stamped-up reflector ring and is fastened with a link bracelet or logo-embossed leather strap. Available in both monochrome and contrasting color combinations, this out-there design highlights the mission of HUGO to lead rather than follow.
#IMPRESS FOR HIM
If you are sporty and are leaning towards trendy streetwear fashion, #IMPRESS FOR HIM is for you. HUGO redefines the racing watch for a new generation with the #IMPRESS FOR HIM, a sporty multifunction with a streetwear feel. A distinctive bezel with a knurled texture detailed with four stations is a highlight of the design, together with three interlinked super-matte sub-eyes on the circular brushed dial. A stamped-down number 12 and stamped-up indexes add the final touch of dimension to this striking timepiece, which is fitted with a link bracelet or leather strap.
#VISIT
An easy-wear three-hand men’s timepiece, the on-trend diving watch silhouette gets the HUGO treatment with #VISIT. This bold watch features a distinctive textured bezel with etched, ink-filled details, while the sunray dial is complete with oversized stamped-up indexes for a cool and contemporary aesthetic. Fitted with a link bracelet or stitched leather strap, you can choose a color combination and the option of a gradient-finish dial to complete the eye-catching design.
#RUN
The classic multifunction is reinterpreted with a streetwear twist in the HUGO #RUN, a striking watch that introduces urban-inspired details to a traditional silhouette. A clean case with pushers and crown protection complements the textured dial, which is detailed with day and date sub-eyes in a bold, industrial design. The word “Friday” at 12 o’clock on the day sub-eye brings more signature HUGO DNA to this timepiece, fitted with a choice of stitched leather strap or mesh bracelet.
#CATCH
Young, fun, and easy to wear, the HUGO #CATCH is a sleek and versatile timepiece for every day. The unisex design features the striking new squared HUGO logo on the dial and brings together a lightweight case, a stainless-steel bezel, and a silicon strap optionally printed with the HUGO logo. Contrasting indexes and ink-filled details on the bezel balance the minimalist feel of this three-hand watch, offered in a choice of bold colors.
#INTENSE
HUGO Watches takes inspiration from the world of jewelry for the innovative #INTENSE, a statement-making multifunction with a cushion-shaped case. This contemporary timepiece features a mix of brushed and polished finishes and is secured with a striking chain bracelet in a choice of colors. Detailed with three diamond-cut matte sub-eyes on a beautiful textured sunray dial, the trend-driven design is for every HUGO woman who goes her own way in style.
#IMPRESS FOR HER
The HUGO woman makes a sporty statement with #IMPRESS FOR HER, a simple yet striking multifunction fitted with a link bracelet. The focal point of the design is its distinctive bezel with a knurled texture and detailed with four stations. Three interlinked super-matte sub-eyes contrast with the circular brushed dial, while a stamped-down number 12 and stamped-up indexes add further dimension. This bold timepiece is offered in classic and trend-driven color combinations.
#SHOW
A sunray dial with an all-over etched HUGO logo pattern is the highlight of the #SHOW, a three-hand timepiece from HUGO Watches with a clean and simple silhouette, perfect for everyday wear. This versatile watch features the HUGO logo at 3 o’clock and is designed without indexes, focusing on the bold branding of the watch’s face. Its polished hands add to the chic feel of the #SHOW, which is fitted with a three-link bracelet in a choice of colors.
