Presented with Dorian Ho Homme Fall/ Winter 2015-2016 Collection
31 July 2015, Hong Kong
HUBLOT has long held the brand philosophy of the âArt of Fusionâ with the freedom of exploring and creating with no boundaries. Hublot took a new step again to âbe the first, be unique, be differentâ crossing paths in the fashion industry, creating yet another perfect fusion, and a new milestone in the expedition of "Hublot Loves Art". Hublot collaborated with Mr. Dorian Ho, a renowned fashion designer in Hong Kong to create a new uniform for Hublot Boutiques across Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Greater China. It is also a first for Dorian to design new uniforms for a luxury watch brand.
At the event, Dorian shared his design concept which is inspired by Hublotâs âArt of Fusionâ â using different materials together with the brandâs distinctive âHâ logo to create the sophisticated outfits. On the male outfit, the âHâ logo is highlighted in contrast fabric on the lapels, across the chest, adding an âHâ logo embroidery on the front of the male shirt; while the female outfit adds a little romance and femininity with the ruffle hem blazer and fitted silhouette, pulling together a stylish and fashionable ensemble.
