Hugo Boss Black

Hugo Boss AG, often styled as BOSS, is a German luxury fashion house. It was founded in 1934 by Hugo Boss and is headquartered in Metzingen, Germany. Originally focusing on uniforms, it was a supplier for Nazi Party organizations both before and during World War II. After the war and the founder’s death in 1948, Hugo Boss started to turn its focus from uniforms to men’s suits. The company went public in 1985 and introduced a fragrance line that same year, added mens and womenswear diffusion lines in 1997, a full women’s collection in 2000 as well as children’s clothing in 2008/2009, and has since evolved into a major global fashion house with more than 1,100 company-owned retail stores worldwide (2016).There are two core brands, Boss and Hugo. The ranges are:

BOSS, which includes both men’s wear (1970) and women’s wear (2000).
BOSS Orange, which includes both men’s wear (1999) and women’s wear (2005). This line was relaunched in 2010 as denim based casual wear. From the Spring / Summer 2018 collection BOSS Orange will be known as BOSS Casual.
BOSS Green, which was previously known as Boss Sport, includes golf-style active clothing in both men’s wear (2003) and women’s wear (2010). From the Spring / Summer 2018 collection BOSS Green will be known as BOSS Athleisure.
