Hugo Boss: All This And No Brains Too


I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Thanks to annet in Antwerp!

Hugo Five-Aces?

Daniel said...

Wow... fashion is smart

roballen said...

Looks like he managed to get on the bad side of a witch doctor.

Or maybe too many sessions with his shrink?

Rommel said...

Recession hits even the big boys of fashion. They should have just paid the designer in full... classic story of "You get what you pay for..."

His barber took "Take a little off the top" too literally.

The Ivory Tower said...

Oh.

It's not supposed to be a curved poster that looks like it's missing parts of it.

Oh.

Ken said...

I don't know you all...those glasses look...a tad....big to me...they make his head look all...um, wait....nevermind...***GAH!!!***

Scott said...

he looks like a dick tracy villian

Deaf Indian Muslim Anarchist! said...

He got very... uhh, flat hair.

dimbulb said...

Damn that Hansel. He's so hot right now!

Pink said...

Hahaha, Rommel. Your comment made me choke on my breakfast.

Dino said...

You really shouldn't poke fun at those less fortunate than yourself.

Seriously, how big are those shades?!

ok said...

My girlfriend can do that, sometimes.

Kasey said...

So, the creative team had a problem...adjust the sweater, or just adjust the model. It was a no-brainer really.

Mykel said...

So like, yours eyes are supposed to be in the center of your head... not near the top right? Or did he just have eye relocation surgery?

Laura Dotson-Thomson said...

Well, maybe the glasses are sitting extremely high on his head, and his hair is completely flopping down instead of all over.... If you take the very top of the hair as his actual cranium top, it might not be that bad (drawing circle where skull should be - eyes are pretty central on the head)...
He does look like his aviators might have gotten a bit too close to a propellor blade though...

GOGOPEDRO said...

JESUS....what a strange ass head shape.

The Sophisticate's Diary said...

If you take the time to save the picture and trace the shape of his skull you will notice that this picture is perfectly...oh...yes...he does appear to be sans forehead.

Sharon said...

Ohhh, I get it. This is Flattop Jones's (Dick Tracy Villan - do a google image search) more round headed little brother.

And omg, the word verification made me blank on whatever else I was gonna say...it's labion. Laboto-you, labotomy.

Phoenyx said...

High Fashion has truly gone lowbrow.

N. said...

poor chap and his lobotomy

N. said...

PS why are people talking about his glasses? :S They've clearly transformed his head from just above his brow line.

STEFANIE said...

It's called anencephaly. :p

Current Resident said...

gross!

Raffaella Arnaldi said...

HAHAHA, that line is genius :D

Jimmis said...

Looks like someone deflated all the air out of his head.

WV: Auniqua, that is what I will name my child if its a girl.

brazinglish said...

@gogopedro

your comment is the best one here, because i'm pretty sure the brainless guy is actually Jesus Luz (you know, Madonna's Jesus).

Gallifrey said...

What is going on in the groin area of the dummy on the right???

Lisa said...

That is kinda the look I have going on my drivers license photo.

mollymouse said...

@brazinglish: OMG it is totally jesus luz! excuse me while I die of laughter...

Ahaha! brazinglish is right, gogopedro’s comment is the best!

Madonna & Jesus Luz

They probably erased his hat/cap but didn’t even bother to photoshop his hair.

thstaken said...

HAHA Did no one get the Zoolander reference?
Nice move!

Tilman Hausherr said...

LOL. Thats called the "Danny Masterson look":

Awesome Zoolander reference

amandalikes said...

neanderthal

Nilpferd said...

BLĂ–DMANN!

It's because he doesn't buy his stuff at Media Markt.

rattyrayvn said...

Oh wow, people with anencephaly get modelling work? That's so heartening.

tome said...

Can we please have some people who have been graphic designers for 20 years and work with 3D women come tell us whether this is OK or not? I would hate to form an opinion without their expertise.

In the meantime I'll risk saying this looks like an excellent way to make sure the photo fit on the page.

morgedoid said...

Hey! at least he has a head! look at the two dummies by his sides! cripes!

Raffaella Arnaldi said...

@thstaken

Sure I got the reference, my comment implied it. And someone mentioned Hansel :-D

- said...

WHO SAID DIFFERENTLY ABLED PEOPLE WITH MICROCEPHALY CANNOT TAKE PART IN THE BIASED, BIGOTED INDUSTRY OF FASHION MODELLING

Y'ALLS ARE FLAUNTING YOUR PRIVILEGE AROUND!!!1

Lisa said...

Foreheads are so ten-minutes-ago.

AyK said...

I guess foreheads are not fashionable anymore? Zoolander is a timeless classic though...

t-mck said...

To me, it looks as if the store sliced the poster it to make it fit in the window. Actually trying the Hugo Boss site to see if that's not the case however!
Fully comments regardless. :)

t-mck said...

Okay, I take it back. I think it IS a PSD. Looks like the folks used this as their basis (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dTQ4Civ9X-8/SZuV9Z6hH7I/AAAAAAAAEbg/3JUrmOXRX1s/s1600-h/tyson+ritter+009.jpg) and fudged the top of the head.
The model is Tyson Ritter.

Kasey said...

@t-mck: Now he's stuck in the gutter and lost his elbow! This guy really needs to watch out where he hangs out!

lisabrodsky1965 said...

Oh, good catch, t-mck! Yes, that looks like the original, but his head is cut off, so somebody fluffed the edges to make it look not-cut-off... except they didn't take into account the normal shape of the human head!

N. said...

@tome

That's only required when its clearly not a PSD and simply a post from a slightly misguided, but fortunate blog owner, that's jumped on by those unable to identify artworker errors.

This is an obvious PSD, therefore not required.

However if you're after professional verification, which is hardly something to scoff at, then here it is.

Maybe in future you can appreciate the feedback of those who know what they're talking about? ;)

N. said...

@t-mck

Thanks for your blindingly obvious conclusion :p

Unless the store found some magic scissors that distort the images on the item they're cutting then I don't think your original hypothesis stands up to much ;)

lhanna said...

I think the zoolander quote tops the whole thing off... nice.

caro said...

jajaja that pic make me think, smart pic

Aha! I knew emo guys had to be hiding something under all that stupid hair.
