HUGO BOSS has appointed the German designer as Senior Vice President of Boss Menswear, according to fashion news website WWD.

The move is something of a homecoming for Ingo Wilts, who spent almost a decade in executive positions at Hugo Boss five years ago.

Ingo Wilts is preparing to take the reins of all the German brand’s menswear lines. The designer and executive will assume his duties from July 1, the last day of the men’s fashion week presentations for the S/S 2015 season.

Wilts was Creative Director of the Boss Black, Boss Selection and Boss Green lines until 2009. Since then, the designer has worked for Elie Tahari, Kenneth Cole and Tommy Hilfiger.
