Models Felix Gesnouin and Nicolas Ripoll come together in logo fashions from HUGO’s spring-summer 2016 collection.

Approaching its spring-summer 2016 collection, HUGO by Hugo Boss looks to Venice Beach and its longstanding relationship with skaters for style inspiration. Bringing a tailored point of view to streetwear-influenced ensembles, HUGO embraces monochromatic numbers, relaxed proportions and graphic prints. From super black suiting, cut in a slim fit to t-shirts and sweatshirts, emblazoned with HUGO logos, the German brand turns out a smart collection with a youthful appeal.
