The retro-future sartorial era of BOSS

BOSS’s Fall/Winter 2023 fashion show, held at Milan’s Allianz MiCo conference center on September 22, was a remarkable fusion of classic tailoring and futuristic vision, all encapsulated within the “CorpCore” theme. The runway itself transformed into a futuristic oasis where Sophia, an extraordinary creation by Hanson Robotics, took center stage with her emotion-recognition abilities.

BOSS’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection was described by Marco Falcioni the creative director at HUGO BOSS, as an evolution of the brand’s tailoring heritage, reimagines classic office wear with a modern twist under the theme “CorpCore.” The collection showcases super-stretch suiting and deconstructed designs while emphasizing clean lines by removing traditional buttons and zippers. Its color palette draws from corporate neutrals, accented by bold black elements, including the iconic B-monogram pattern.
The accessories incorporate playful office-inspired motifs, like paper clips and numerical locks on briefcases. BOSS continues its “see now, buy now” approach, enabling immediate online purchases after the show, offering a seamless fusion of tradition and innovation in fashion.

As part of BOSS’s commitment to sustainability and its partnership with HeiQ AeoniQ, the “see now, buy now” collection includes three eco-friendly outerwear pieces made from HeiQ AeoniQ™ fabric, reducing environmental impact. Customers can explore these styles and BOSS’s sustainability initiative at boss.com/thechange. The fashion show was live-streamed in BOSS stores worldwide, and special screening events in London, Liverpool, Gibraltar, New York, Chengdu, and Beijing allowed fans to shop for runway-inspired looks and “see now, buy now” pieces, offering early access to the latest styles.

BOSS became the first fashion company to collaborate with the TikTok rewards program through their partnership with the platform. By performing tasks, TikTok users may earn points on a special BOSS page, and these points could subsequently be redeemed for exclusive BOSS rewards. During the global fashion weeks, this strategy enhanced BOSS’s digital leadership and omnichannel efficiency.

Available online and in BOSS stores globally, this collection invites fashion-forward individuals to experience a world where heritage meets the cutting edge.
