Metzingen, November 13, 2017. HUGO BOSS is entering into a new partnership with Formula E, the electric street racing series, as official apparel partner, building on the brand’s DNA of innovation and a longstanding connection with motorsport. 

Formula E offers an action-packed racing experience on the streets of the world’s major cities.

Dressing those on the road to success, HUGO BOSS shares the values that are key to motorsport and the winning mentality that goes with it – dynamism, perfection and precision. As official partner, HUGO BOSS will design and develop outfits for the Formula E series management, employees and volunteers.

In this new collaboration, HUGO BOSS brings its 35 years of experience and expertise in the motorsport arena to Formula E, as well as the dynamic style the fashion brand is renowned for.

HUGO BOSS Chief Executive Officer, Mark Langer, spoke about the partnership: “As a fashion brand, we are always looking at innovative approaches to design and sustainability. When we first encountered Formula E, we immediately saw its potential and we are pleased to be the first apparel partner to support this exciting new motorsport series.”

Alejandro Agag, Founder & CEO of Formula E, said: “I’m delighted to welcome yet another global brand to the Formula E family, especially a respected and recognizable name in the world of fashion such as HUGO BOSS. This new partnership will see the team on the ground at each race dressed with a winning mindset and ready to deliver a spectacular event in cities across the world. As the first Official Apparel Partner of the series, we look forward to seeing the dynamic style and innovation on show that BOSS is renowned for.”
