Brand intelligence
BOSS
BOSS is the premium tailoring and lifestyle brand of HUGO BOSS, the German company founded in Metzingen in 1924. Its offer has expanded from tailoring into womenswear, casualwear, footwear, accessories, fragrance and licensed categories, while the separate HUGO brand has its own identity. Marco Falcioni leads creative direction at HUGO BOSS and is the relevant creative lead for BOSS’s recent runway work. The directory keeps brand-level creative responsibility distinct from the publicly listed group’s board and executive management. HUGO BOSS financial disclosures cover the multi-brand company and its channels, so they are not automatically credited to BOSS alone, a product category or an individual creative leader.
