HUGO by HUGO BOSS F/W 2011 Fashion Show

The HUGO Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Show took place on Thursday January 21, 2011. As a HUGO reporter I had the honour of reporting live from this coveted fashion show during Berlin Fashion Week. The new Fall/Winter HUGO collection was breathtaking to say the least. Each of the looks was so thought out and the array of colours which included red, black, grey and white were just exquisite. I also loved the beautiful mixes of material such as black leather, wool, cotton and silks. The collection which was created by HUGO's creative director Eyan Allen was true to the brand’s classic look with just the right amount of edginess. I did manage to take a few pictures but sadly they don't do the collection any justice so please check out a video of the full collection by HUGO BOSS TV at the end of this post.

Backstage Exclusive: HUGO by HUGO BOSS F/W 2011 Fashion Show

As a HUGO BOSS reporter I had the privilege of seeing the backstage area for the Fall/Winter 2011 HUGO Fashion Show in Berlin. The scene backstage was fun and exciting as models were getting their makeup done and practicing their final walks for the big show. Check out the exclusive pictures I managed to snap in between my reporting duties.

Really love the model's shirt during the practice walk. I wonder where she got it?

Weird angle but check out the male model sporting a leather jacket. This was my fashion trend prediction for spring 2011. I guess he decided to sport the trend a bit earlier! 

More practice walks. Notice all the seating names on the seats!

My Berlin Fashion Looks Revealed!

Here is the outfit I wore to the HUGO fashion show in Berlin. When searching for the perfect look for the big event I first thought of a theme that I wanted to go with. The theme for this look was old Hollywood glamour. The first thing that I bought was the dress by Boubou and then like a puzzle I tried to put together the perfect pieces that would accomplish my theme idea. The next thing I bought was the shrug. Originally I had in mind a faux fur but when I saw this furry looking piece by INC International Concepts I knew this would work even better! When I tried on both of the pieces, the violet colour on the dress and blue on the shrug complimented each other so nicely! After that my mission was to find the perfect necklace to adorn the look. My vision for the necklace was something chunky and sparkly to stand out on its own since all of the pieces were already such attention grabbers. Luckily I ran into this gorgeous statement necklace in Macy's but sadly there was no tag to indicate the designer! Finally I needed a pair of really great shoes to finish off the look. While rummaging through my closet I found these great BCBG wedges which I paired with sheer black stockings. Not only are these wedges stylish but they're also very comfortable!

I wore this outfit during a dinner out with the HUGO team and fellow reporters in Berlin. My inspiration for this look was something classic yet simple. The first thing that I found was the black sequined dress by INC International Concepts. On its own the dress is very eye catching and more for a cocktail party than a dinner so I decided to tone it down a bit with a simple black shrug from Mandee. Finally I paired this look with knee-high black boots from Shi by Journey's and voila my perfect dinner outfit was complete!
