Hugo – a Gen-Z inspired sub-brand of German giant Hugo Boss, will design Visa Cash App RB’s teamwear for the upcoming 2024 season.

VCARB, who are in the first year of a rebrand, were previously called AlphaTauri – the fashion line of parent company Red Bull.

They may no longer hold the title sponsor of a clothing giant, but they have enlisted the services of Hugo to help them look dapper this year.

It’s not Hugo Boss’ first excursion into the F1 world, with the Boss brand having signed a deal to become Aston Martin Formula 1 team’s official apparel partner in June 2022.
