Are Hugo Boss the latest in a string of megalomaniac companies trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes? SOHN called out Audi recently, and now Young Turks, on behalf of The xx, are taking aim at Hugo Boss.
According to YT's boss, Hugo Boss - in their new Master The Light campaign - have shamelessly plagiarised The xx's "Intro".
On Twitter, the label called out the perceived hypocrisy.
. @HUGOBOSS as a firm built around original design, isn't it odd that you'd pay for such a poorly disguised fake? https://t.co/2sdUYfU6OF …

Have a listen below to the two tracks, and see for yourself if you think Young Turks have a claim here. They do sync up pretty spectacularly, with the key, tempo, rhythm, structure and timbres almost identical.
