SO WHO IS
HUGO BOSS?
The real Hugo Boss
established a clothing
company in Metzingen,
a small town south
of Stuttgart, in 1923.
After going bankrupt he
joined the Nazi party and
business flourished when
he became a supplier of
uniforms to the SA and SS.
Boss died in 1948 but the
company survived and in
1953 began to make the
suits for which it would
eventually become famous.
