Celebs, from top models and rappers to influencers and athletes, were lined up for the release. Here’s the list:
- Kendall Jenner

- Khaby Lame

The incredible social-first campaign for the brand was shot by highly-rated fashion photographer Mikael Jansson.
Alongside the global campaign, the fashion house plans to broaden the spectrum, in the form of podcasts, behind the scenes, stories, and reels for better sway.
The campaign will be activated across the world via consumer touchpoints that will be led both by social as well as major out-of-home advertising. Currently, it is going live in 35 metropolises worldwide.
The CEO of Hugo BOSS AG, Daniel Grieder, elaborated:
“The talents and personalities of the campaign perfectly embody what a boss stands for today. Delving into the more personal, emotive, and thoughtful aspects of being a boss in today’s world helps us connect in a more concrete and tangible way to millennials.”
BOSS also announced an upcoming tactical partnership with TikTok celeb Khaby Lame. The decision came subsequent to Milan Fashion Week, which happened in September last year. Khaby's first fashion runway, which he did in collaboration with BOSS, attracted 4 billion impressions in just four days.
