Legendary Supermodel Crafts Timeless Capsule With BOSS
Naomi Campbell, the iconic British supermodel, has joined forces with German luxury fashion brand Hugo Boss for an exclusive capsule collection, BOSS X Naomi Campbell.
This collaboration, available exclusively at Bloomingdale’s, draws inspiration from Campbell’s fast-paced lifestyle, aiming to empower women and make them feel confident and unapologetic.
“The goal of this capsule is for every woman to ‘step with no apologies.'” – Naomi Campbell
The collection features notable pieces such as a double-breasted gray pinstriped suit crafted from stretchy wool for added comfort, a sophisticated black jacket with a shawl collar, and a timeless trench coat adorned with an all-over leopard print, adding a bold statement.
Empowering Women Through Fashion
During an exclusive conversation with Harlem Fashion Row, hosted at the Guggenheim Museum in honor of Women’s History Month, Campbell shared insights into the inspiration behind the collection.
Joined by Brandice Daniel, founder of Harlem Fashion Row, and Nadia Kokni, senior vice president of global marketing and brand communications at Hugo Boss, Campbell emphasized the intentionality behind every fabric, strand, and design.
“Every design supports the dynamic life of a confident and unapologetic BOSS woman.” – Naomi Campbell
The collection aims to empower women and make them feel ready for any situation, from the boardroom to a long-haul flight, with Campbell’s input as a fashion icon and experienced jetsetter adding a unique edge.
A Celebration of Black Excellence
The event was a celebration of Black excellence, with iconic figures such as stylist Ty Hunter, model and writer Audrey Smaltz, and rising star Ming Lee Simmons in attendance. Harlem Fashion Row’s mission to uplift and empower Black designers and creatives was evident throughout the evening.
“When asked what advice she has for anyone starting in the industry, she replied, ‘Really, it’s my three Ds — which is my logo on the back of my hoodies — which is determination, dedication, and drive. That is it. It has its ups and downs — you just have to stick to the dedication part and know not to give up.'” – Naomi Campbell
Giving Back Through Fashion
Notably, a portion of the proceeds from the BOSS X Naomi Campbell collection will benefit multiple organizations, including Harlem Fashion Row’s Icon 360 fund, further solidifying the collaboration’s commitment to empowering and uplifting underrepresented communities in the fashion industry.
