HUGO BOSS has kicked off the lead-up to Fall in style! The Winter 2023 show hosted at the Milan Fashion Week was nothing short of a spectacle. It marked the advent of a new era in fashion – with a vision of the future where fashion meets technology – where humanity blends with machines. In its “CorpCore” presentation, the $4.7 Billion-dollar brand ventured into uncharted territory – in an attempt to redefine uniforms, at the crossroads of human and machine.

Amid the hordes of stars and celebs, there was also a familiar UFC face on the list of attendees. We’re talking about UFC veteran and former champ Luke Rockhold, who also joined the dazzling event. For those of you who are not up to speed, Rockhold is a former Strikeforce and UFC middleweight champion. What’s more – he is also a professional model and has also modeled at various prestigious events, including the New York Fashion Week. But that’s not all – the list of attendees included some of the biggest names in the industry.

So, who else pulled up for the big night? BOSS’ line up for the event included personalities from fashion, and pop culture, along with some combat sports legends. Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham, Pedro Scooby, and BOSS brand ambassadors Anthony Joshua, Alicia Schmidt, and Khaby Lame were some of the stars who graced the event.

Naomi Campbell, pop icon Demi Lovato, former UFC champ Luke Rockhold, Patrick Mahomes, and Nico Rosberg, were a few of the big names at the show. Rockhold even took to his Instagram story to share a sneak peek of his time at the event. Meanwhile, boxing sensation Anthony Joshua didn’t shy away from showcasing his look on X.

 

The $4.7 Billion brand’s visionary showcase featured some of the most groundbreaking technologies known to man – like robotics, holograms, and even VR(virtual reality). The venue featured six themed rooms, each with its own rendition of fashion in the future – offering a glimpse into the future. On one hand, there was the HarmoniTech Space for aspiring future yogis. Moreover, the event also featured a Brainstorm Room, where humanoids donned light therapy headphones. What’s more – there was even an AromaSynth Lab dedicated to unveiling new BOSS fragrances.
