Hugo Boss Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear

(edgy techno music)

With this collection is really a continuation of

what I started with last season for Boss women s wear.

It s about the chapter two.

(edgy techno music)

This techno forest was a futuristic backdrop

to Jason Wu s second show for Hugo Boss.

And there s a cool, strict edge to the clothes

which also spoke of the future.

The collection really is that dialogue between the

architecture and nature that I stared with last season.

And mixing with that something softer but still technical,

taking really technical fabrics: bonded tweed,

bonded jersey, bonded cotton, raw edge, laser cut.

You know there s something almost futuristic about it.

[Tim] When you come to see him in this context,

can you see a difference in what he s doing?

I see an effortless marriage of the two.

You wanna maintain your own vision, but also

keep the integrity of the brand.

And I feel like he s done that so well.

But with this collection he departed into

a very, beautiful light ethereal take on Boss.

Agnes Martin served as inspiration

for the color palette.

Pale yellows, pale glass, really, really

barely there tones, and it s that subtle tone

that is a different way of using color for me.

[Tim] When you talk about futurism I think of one

of my favorite movies which is Gothika.

Yeah, I mean Gothika has been kind of the point

of inspiration for my vision here.

I always loved that movie and it felt really right.

But there s also a celebration of the antiquity

of elegance because the thing about Andrew Niccol

and Gothika is that if you observe even though it s

set in the future, all the cars were old.

You know, and the architecture was of the 60 s.

And there was something

very beautiful about that combination.

There was a pale quality to the tint, the filter so

I really felt that with this show.

I actually really thought it was beautiful

the way he was mixing sheer with like white cotton.

So you d have like a white cotton with a black sheer

over that which would then make a gray.

And then also those beautiful pastels, and then the

way they rolled em out was really cool.

And the way they went from some

more casual to more formal.

I think minimalism is one of the hardest things

to accomplish with interest.

You know, I mean I thought that.

I thought, yes there s a trench coat, but it s a

trench coat I would want immediately, you know.

There s something interesting, a twist on it.

I think there s a poetry in that.
