Internationally renowned lifestyle bloggers will cover the complete event with regular posts, live updates, and red carpet and backstage coverage before and after the show. All of the collection and show content can be explored in this digital brand world. On the eve of the event, Hugo Boss will also be launching a Chinese mobile site (mobile.hugoboss.cn).
Supported by the global retail network, in-store 3D promotions and window installations with augmented reality specials will form an essential part of the campaign. The image campaign will also include the augmented reality special in all of its print and out-of-home advertising, inviting everyone to embark upon a digital journey that starts from the established Hugo Boss iPhone app.
Some 1,000 guests - including many national and international stars - will be attending the show, which will also include an amazing live act. Huge projections both inside the venue and on the façade will guide the invitees to the 94 meter runway at the heart of the perfectly orchestrated show setting.
“This is a very special event to premiere a wonderful collection. The fact that the show is being shared digitally and in 3D makes it an ideal fit for the up-and-coming Asian market,” says Claus-Dietrich Lahrs, CEO of Hugo Boss AG.
