If you are going to opt for a bright color this season, it has to be signal red! Those of you who don’t want to stand out from the crowd in a signal red head to toe look can start by pairing one eye-catching item with black or grey. Here are my signal red favorites from the current HUGO Collection!

Dauwd is part of a new school of producers making brilliantly crafted, dubstep-inspired bass music. “What’s There” has all the ingredients we love – melodic, moving bass lines, airy hi-hats and snares, and spacey ambience. Most of all, though, what it’s got is a groove. We can’t stop bobbing our heads to this one.

It’s the bass that gets us on this new track from Robot Koch. The haunted vocals of John LaMonica are, beautiful, yes, and the ambient plips and plops are perfectly placed, but the low end is mesmerizing. Make sure when you download and listen, you plug in your best set of headphones.
Yukimi Nagano stands out from the crowd in this HUGO silk print dress. Its clean cut and Asia-inspired floral print turn this dress into a little piece of modern art and black and red are great colors for the festive season.

We’ve been fans of Kelley Polar since his earliest releases on Morgan Geist’s Environ label. But his new album (the first thing we’ve heard from him since 2008) is the best thing he’s ever done. This song, “I’m Not What You Want”, is a collaboration with Junior Boys’ Jeremy Greenspan. Fantastic.
From musicians to HUGO models! Little Dragon present their favorite looks from the HUGO Fall/Winter Collection 2011. While Håkan, Fredrik and Erik opted for clean and minimalist black-and-white looks, vocalist Yukimi Nagano was more drawn to the silk print dresses. Take a look!

Summer Camp is a British duo with a clear affinity for American movies from the 80s. The eponymous track from their new album, Welcome To Condale, even goes so far as to sample a character from a John Hughes movie. The music would also slot in perfectly to any 80s film. It’s perfect synth-pop.
I am super excited to show you the trailer of the first edition of our new HUGO BOSS TALK Online TV Series:

Polographia is a group from Sydney, Australia, but beyond that we can’t find much biographical information about them. What’s really important, though, is not how many people are in the band – or if they’d even describe themselves as a band at all – but how good the music is. And it is VERY good. A healthy dose of indie hip-hop stylings come together with that whole chillwave thing to create a sound that can simultaneously make you bob your head and completely space out. Luckily we were able to work out a free download of their new track, “Righteous Hit.” Jump on it fast.
