HUGO BOSS BRIEF
Design and conceptualize a dynamic window display with 4 to 5 variations for Hugo Boss Black and Orange labels.
APPROACH
As a team, we conceptualized the idea of a dynamic, multi-textured frame as a metaphor for modern, German architectural design and cosmopolitan living. The dynamics of the frame, join and separate into combinations of endless shapes, which defines a paradigm of cross-referencing. This enables the brand to be seen as dynamic, and thus wearable for all occasions. The concept is so versatile, that when applied to different landscapes, the shapes can be morphed figuratively. The context from which it originates reflects the way that we view it.
OUTCOME
Working as a team made this a very valuable piece of work. Ronin, with his background in Korean advertising and 3D. Neville, from Hong Kong with his aptitude to ascertain programming instantaneously. And me from Australia with a background in fashion had the ability to throw ideas instantaneously and problem-solve. I researched German Architecture and came up with the idea of the deconstructed frame. We all developed the idea of the tiles with the LED lights and Ronin came up with the idea of the window furniture and elements. As a team, we developed many concepts for Hugo Boss corporation to develop further for their future window display campaigns. The team was so impressed with our work that we were rewarded with the prize as runners-up.

ABOVE - TWO MODELS OF THE DECONSTRUCTED FRAME
2 unique variations, how the deconstructive frame can be viewed as a window display. It was during this process that we were able to bring to life the concept’s full potential.
BELOW - THE FRAME'S DETAILED VIEW
A juxtaposed view, exposing the deconstructed frame's multi-textured surfaces. Made from wood, cement, and metal sheeting. The texture of the deconstructed frame can appear to portray cement boulders that are used in the construction of seawalls barriers.
