 PROFILE
It's not just a label -- the boss might actually be wearing Boss. Hugo Boss outfits inhabitants of (and aspirants to) the corner office with brands including Boss, a line targeted at executives; trendy, casual Hugo; and more sophisticated Baldessarini. A designer of choice for fashion-conscious Germans, Hugo Boss designs and licenses clothes, accessories, and fragrances sold through Hugo Boss shops and other retailers worldwide. Known for its menswear, Hugo Boss has moved into womenswear as well. Hugo Boss was founded by its namesake in 1923 to make work clothes. It moved into suits in the 1950s and expanded beyond business wear in the 1990s. Italian textile maker Marzotto controls Hugo Boss.
