Hugo by Hugo Boss

The black passage was followed by a dizzying array of patterns; virtually every conceivable variation of black and white was represented. Black-on-white graph patterns were followed by the same effect in white on black, followed by a large-format herringbone trench, followed by variants that mixed and matched all forms of black and white to create a DPM effect that almost blurred the eyes. Elsewhere, a skillful play of proportion and old-fashioned craftsmanship were apparent; peppered throughout were highly desirable pieces, like charcoal pencil pants with a banded waist, or a black cashmere trench that virtually shined. And just when the two-tone palette started to get oppressive, out came a sharply cut camel overcoat over a red turtleneck, followed by a blazer version of same, both shocking in their simplicity, the eye of Pieters' visual storm.
