FITTING FUN

Now you’ve already seen some insights from the HUGO womenswear fitting yesterday. So guess what’s next? Today, it’s time for the gentlemen and time to sneak a peek behind the scenes of the HUGO menswear fitting for the upcoming HUGO Fashion Show Spring/Summer 2013.
Bart de Backer, Senior Head of Creative Management HUGO Menswear, and HUGO stylist Tom van Dorpe picked out the final looks for the HUGO Fashion Show on July, 5th. As you can guess from the pictures, navy blue, cobalt and slate grey might play a major role for HUGO Menswear Spring/Summer 2013. But it’s just guessing… we will know it for sure in Berlin on July 5th when the looks are finally presented on the runway! Wanna see more behind the scenes shots? Follow me on twitter and instagramfor live updates.

As you know, when it comes to a menswear fitting, it’s also about enjoying some eye candy! The two male models Lennart Richter and Arthur De Valbray were in a good mood and kept joking around so we had fitting fun all day. This brings us to the point I’ve mentioned yesterday: introducing to you the people behind the HUGO brand, the designers, the stylist and the runway models. The people who are turning HUGO into a minimalist, avant-garde and classy fashion brand.
So today I’m introducing to you up-and-coming French male model Arthur De Valbray, who will also be walking the HUGO Fashion Show.

BEHIND THE SEAMS

Whenever you see all creative HUGO minds gather in front of a pin board you know that the final fashion show looks are about to be selected. It’s the most joyful moment of a long day of fitting and styling the show looks. And that’s exactly what we’ve been up to at the HUGO BOSS headquarters yesterday and today.
Funnily enough this scene reminded me of pinning my own favorite looks, fashion pieces and inspirations on our virtual pin boards on pinterest. It’s addictive. Especially when there’s a sweepstake happening… However, when I want to deliver photos and inspirations as fast as possible, I share them on instagram and twitter. This is also where you can find all the behind the scenes snapshots from yesterday’s HUGO womenswear fitting and today’s HUGO menswear fitting.
This time, I would like to take the opportunity and introduce the people behind the HUGO brand, the designers, the stylist and our runway models here on the blog. These are the people who are turning HUGO into what it is: A firework of minimalist, avant-garde and classy fashion. So let’s start with our gorgeous up-and-coming fitting model Nadja Bender, who will also be walking the HUGO Fashion Show.

HUGO FASHION SHOW SOUNDTRACK IN THE MAKING

It’s time to spill the beans – and you know how much I love to do that, right?!? – our new HUGO Tracks Artists Nina Kraviz and Kasper Bjorke are producing the runway soundtrack for the HUGO Fashion Show Spring/Summer 2013 in Berlin on July 5th, 2012. Kasper just sent me a snapshot to prove that he’s working on our fashion show beats. Take a look and imagine models walking down the HUGO runway to the beats of our HUGO Tracks Artists… mhmmm… it’s going to be great. But there’s even more…

UP AND DOWN

What goes up, eventually must come down. Just when you think you’ve finally right shortened most of the hemlines in your wardrobe, skirts have slimmed down and stretched below the knee. Just like that the elongated silhouette is prominent in the HUGO Fall 2012 collection, with knee length dresses, longer cardigans and coats ex- tending the lines. And trust me, they’ve created some favorite pieces which will become souvenirs of everybody’s own story and wardrobe. For inspiration’s sake, here are some styles from the HUGO Fall 2012 collection which is available in stores now and online.

COOL DOWN FOR FASHION FALL

Cool down this season with the reduced and avant garde HUGO Fall 2012 collection. Yes, I’ve fallen victim to her again – the one and only Danish supermodel Freja Beha Erichsen. She returned for another season as the face of the Hugo Fall 2012 campaign. Stoic and stylish Freja is wearing one of my favourite looks from the campaign: this cool black and white dress with bold leather graphic stripes and leather sleeves shot by New York based Photographer Alexei Hays. It’s such a great piece from the collection, fashion forward and still wearable to most events and PS. it’s now available in stores!

ANDREW GARFIELD SUITS UP!

I thought it was time to show some love to the stylish men and focus on essential menswear: the suit. And wow, what a lovely suprise I discovered on the nylon magazine: It’s Andrew Garfield suited up in HUGO. Might have been a nice change for him wearing his iconic but not so comfortable skin-tight blue and red suit during filming of “The Amazing Spider-Man”. Doesn’t he look gorgeous? Thought I share the editorial with you. Let’s melt away!

BLACK & GREY

Let’s face it – you can’t go wrong with a traditional black or grey outfit and every designer knows this little fact. Monochrome is a cooling counterpoint to the riotously clashing colors and patterns. So chic, so sleek, so inspirational. And look who has just worn the monochrome trend in a gorgeous HUGO Style. It’s actress Jennifer Lawrence in a dress from HUGO Fall 2012 and actor Michael Fassbender in a suit from HUGO Summer 2012 at the HUGO BOSS Formula 1 Party in Monaco. They say when in doubt, keep it simple. Stunning, right?

COLOR OBSESSION

I love lime green. It’s the color of my favorite ice cream and it seems to go with everything! When it comes to colors I simply love how the summer months provide an opportunity to go as wild as you like with your color styling. Lime green is my new color obsession and it’s making me see spring and summer in a whole new light. The bright color combined with the right accessories can evoke a wonderful warm and modern simplicity. I do highly recommend that you incorporate a lime green piece of fashion into your life!

ROLL IT UP

…and show your ankles. It’s fresh, sexy and stylish. Showing them off is hot at the moment! Some fashion-forward fellas have been showing them off for a few seasons and it looks like the trend is back again. With the summer fast approaching, all of you guys out there will be glad to hear this. To be honest – during the hot days, every bit helps! Enjoy the beautiful styles from HUGO Menswear Summer 2012 collection and then get out and show those sexy ankles! But watch out: This look calls for strictly no socks!
