As far as internet moments go, luxury label BOSS’ recent spring/summer 2023 runway show was as viral as it gets. Presented on March 15 by the former Miami Herald office, 500 guests looked on as sharp tailored separates—in an assortment of cream, grey, khaki and brown—floated down the runway. Featuring menswear and womenswear line ups, the drawingboard for the 70-look collection, as imagined by senior vice president of creative direction Marco Falcioni, took cues from The Magic City itself.
This manifested in a myriad of ways—first, by paying homage to BOSS’ core of tailoring and then, by nodding to the brand’s glittering progression forward in the form of sheer fabrics and allure-infused designs. This genre-defying sensibility was also present in the ambiance of the venue. The audience floated atop an inky black body of water as the word ‘BOSS’ loomed over in the distance and a star-studded cast made their way down a runway illuminated by sparkling purple lights. Missed the show? Fret not, here’s what to know about what went down.

Featuring popular brand hues of black, khaki, white and camel, the collection was also a nod to innovation and metamorphosis. While BOSS has established itself as a go-to port for menswear and tailoring, its spring/summer 2023 line up made sure to hint at a new direction by showcasing an assortment of modern and contemporary silhouettes in unexpected, muted and sunset reminiscent shades.
