German fashion house Hugo Boss on Thursday said it expected its sales to grow more by 2025 than it had originally envisioned, citing strong demand across its markets.

The company forecast sales of 5 billion euros ($5.4 billion) by 2025, compared to the previous target of 4 billion euros, which it expects to meet already this year, Reuters said.

Hugo Boss, which has undergone a brand revamp under the leadership of former Tommy Hilfiger head Daniel Grieder, is investing on marketing to gain visibility as it seeks to boost sales and expand its market share.

It also targets an operating profit (EBIT) of 600 million euros by 2025, compared to its prior goal of around 480 million euros, and an EBIT margin of at least 12%, compared to a previous forecast of around 12%.

It said it would keep its marketing investments at a level of 7% to 8% of group sales until 2025.

Sacai, Japan’s biggest fashion powerhouse, brought the wild side to Paris Fashion Week with Sunday's collection that reimagined childhood nostalgia through a lens of cutting-edge design.

Inspired by the 1963 children's picture book “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak, Chitose Abe delivered a playful, untamed vision that blended beastly textures with her trademark precision, resulting in a spectacle both bold and innovative.

The show leaned into functionality and whimsy, with shaggy faux-knit pelts adorning utility olive suits, oversized scarves, and knit blousons that channeled the spirit of untamed creatures. Faux fur trims added flair to skirts and reimagined outerwear, while nostalgic nods to Maurice Sendak’s iconic illustrations brought a touch of whimsy.

Collaborations added an extra edge, with workwear staples elevated into fashion statements, rugged boots offering a wild twist, and polished footwear tying together the refined evening looks.

Accessories like branded water bottles and utility bags infused the show with a modern, outdoorsy aesthetic, capturing the thrill of untamed creativity and leaving the audience enthralled.
