Metzingen (Germany) – On the evening of January 28, 2009, Hugo Boss opened the fourth Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin with the presentation of its Boss Black collection for fall/winter 2009/10.

Some 700 invited guests attended the show which was held at the century-old main greenhouse at Berlin's Botanical Gardens in the Dahlem district.

"Our continued engagement in Berlin is indicative of our support for the city's ongoing evolution as a global fashion center," noted Philipp Wolff, Director of Communication.

Presented under the headline "Winter Cuts," the show featured the men and women’s collections created by head designer Ingo Wilts, who said had drawn inspiration from icons such as Catherine Deneuve and Sean Penn.

At the cocktail party held after the fashion show, guests, including former model and actress Milla Jovovich, Emile Hirsch ("Milk") and girlfriend Brianna Domont were served champagne and a flying dinner featuring veal carpaccio, parsnip cream soup, Roquefort pennette, pan-roasted local pike perch, and warm dark chocolate cake.
