Hugo Boss

Designer Hugo Boss is known to have founded a clothing factory in Germany in 1923. Though initially worker's clothes were made, in 1953, after 30 years, the first men's suits were created. Hugo Boss became famous for high-end men's suits and enjoyed popularity in the 1980's when stars such as Don Johnson and Jan-Michael Philip desided to wear their suits.

The company went public in 1985 and is now part of the Marzotto Group, an Italian luxury group controlled by the Marzotto family. No member of the Boss family is actually part of the Hugo Boss company today.

In 2000, Werner Baldessarini, the Chairman of the company, brought out a womenswear line which has also been extremely successful.
