HUGO enlists TikTok pop princess Bella Poarch to honour creative expression

Shop the key pieces from the AW23 collection

In recent years, it has not become uncommon to see influencers use their platform to pursue different creative careers.

Since the advent of TikTok, we’ve seen an increase in TikTok stars on big screens, runways and radios worldwide. As the third most followed creator on the app, Bella Poarch first began gaining a following with her cosplay and gaming videos. In 2020, a video of her lip-syncing became one of the most viewed videos on the app. Just a year into her career, the Los Angeles-based star released her first single and at the end of last year she dropped her debut EP.

Appearing in HUGO’s spring summer 2023 campaign earlier this year, Poarch is now making a name for herself in fashion. Since its reinvention last year, HUGO has established a new brand narrative focusing on sound and style. For AW23, the brand is doubling down on the celebration between fashion and music’s synchronicities.
