METZINGEN, Germany, Jan. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

HUGO BOSS launches two simultaneous star-studded global campaigns for its 
brands BOSS and HUGO. The release is the first visual representation of this 
historic brand refresh. After almost 50 years, HUGO BOSS is introducing a new 
logo for its core brand, BOSS, along with a true 360-degree rebrand across all

since its last logo adjustment in the early 1990s. Both new logos feature a 
notably bolder graphic typeface conveying a contemporary look and impactful

In line with the company's CLAIM 5 growth strategy, both BOSS and HUGO 
undertake a new, modern brand identity focused on a younger and more global 
demographic. 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.

"With the branding refresh and the release of the star-studded campaigns, we 
are ushering in an entirely new era for BOSS and HUGO. It is our aim to excite 
new and younger target groups and turn them into fans of our brands. Both 
campaigns are therefore an important step in further boosting brand relevance 
and in reaching our goal to become a top 100 global brand in the years to 
come," states Daniel Grieder, CEO HUGO BOSS AG.

A refreshed and engaging experience for customers will also be unveiled on the 
hugoboss.com website. With even more imagery, videos, and inspiring content, 
customers will have the opportunity to dive into the new products, making for a 
more enjoyable and immersive shopping experience. Improved usability will 
support the growth of the E-Comm business, and even more digital and 
omnichannel services will be available throughout 2022.

Delving into the more personal, emotive, and thoughtful aspects of being a boss 
in today's world helps us connect in a more concrete and tangible way to
