Discover your creativity | HUGO Create is a new design contest, a celebration of visual creativity open to creative people of all skill levels. Professionals, students or design-enthusiasts: this is your opportunity to show the world your ideas and skills. So fire up your creative minds and start to brainstorm, draw, scan, create a digital collage, vectorize… Use your imagination and intuition to amaze us with your designs. It’s up to you and your skills to see your work published in the most iconic urban magazine, in the i-D magazine or even potentially used as a worldwide HUGO Fragrance advertising! They look forward to receive designs featuring the iconic HUGO Man bottle and an individual interpretation of the HUGO brand universe, according to the given theme.
