Hugo Boss is a fashion and clothing store that is based just south of Stuttgart Germany in a small town called Metzingen. Hugo Boss has a long, and interesting history compared to many other fashion lines, one that is riddled with drama and unusual events. But despite all the drama and controversial events, it has preserved and even grown over the years, to be the popular name brand it is today, some 92 years later.

Hugo Boss – the beginning

The year was 1924; Hugo Boss started a small clothing company but due to the economic situation at the time, the company had to file bankruptcy; however, Hugo didn’t give up his dream. Hugo worked out a deal with his creditors that allowed him to keep 6 sewing machines and with those 6 machines, he was able to start up again in 1931.

World War II was a turbulent time that effected so many people. Businesses were up and down with production and margins, depending on what type of business they were. For Hugo Boss, he had something that was needed, uniforms. Hugo became a member of the Nazi party and a supporter of Schutzstaffel and by doing so, his financial situation greatly improved because now he was designing and manufacturing the uniforms for the SS.

Because Hugo and many of Hugo’s employees were found to have an intense relationship with the Nazi party, and in 1946, because of this finding for all to be activists, supporters and beneficiaries of National Socialism, Hugo’s rights to vote were taken away as well as his right to operate a business. Hugo died in 1948 but his business did not. After his death, his son-in-law, Eugen Holy took over the business.

Branching out and growing Hugo Boss

1950 marks a turn for Hugo Boss fashion. There was a need for men’s suits which came to Hugo Boss as an order that was filled by increasing the number of employees to 150 by the end of that year. By the year 1960, Hugo Boss was manufacturing ready-made suits which greatly improved things for the company as well as for men in general. It made buying a suit quick and easy because it eliminated the wait of having it tailored made. Nine years later in 1969, Eugen retired and his two sons took over the business.

1970 marks the year Hugo Boss became a registered trade name and began producing suits under their brand as well as it began their long running association with sports, sponsoring athletes in such sports as motorsports, golf and tennis.

Other major milestones were, in 1984, Hugo Boss developed its own fragrance which put Hugo Boss on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In 1987, Hugo Boss’ own brand of sunglasses hit the market and in 1995, a whole line of Hugo Boss footwear was developed.
