Hugo Boss death in ’47 resulted in the design company closing for a period of 5 years until 1953 when the company released their first suit for men. The first suit was a huge success and the company in the 60’s expended into causal menswear and womenswear. In 1993, Hugo Boss launched their fragrance division which has gone on to be a great success.

In 1999, Hugo Boss Clothing decided to separate the suits and casual part of the business and therefore Boss Orange and Boss Black were born.
