HUGO BOSS has announced that it has started funding a new scholarship for students of the postgraduate course MA Fashion Communication at the renowned arts and design college Central Saint Martins, which forms part of the University of the Arts London. 

HUGO BOSS will support three students each year, one from each area of the course: Fashion Journalism, Fashion Critical Studies and Fashion Image. The recipients will be given a stipend of £3,000 each and are selected by an internal panel at the college.

The scholarship is the latest scheme in HUGO BOSS’ commitment to encouraging students around the world to exploit their full potential. By focusing on supporting funding for education, and by supporting students working across each area of the course, HUGO BOSS aims to strengthen diversity, creativity and innovation across the fashion industry.

“Central Saint Martins is an extraordinary institution where young talents can develop their skills across different fashion disciplines. We are very much looking forward to our collaboration with the college and the students in the years to come,” states Ingo Wilts, Chief Brand Officer, HUGO BOSS AG. 

"We are really excited that HUGO BOSS is providing these scholarships for MA Fashion Communication at Central Saint Martins. HUGO BOSS has a global communications perspective and is consistently innovative both in menswear and womenswear. This collaboration could not be more perfect," says Roger Tredre, Course Leader, MA Fashion Communication.
