Hugo Boss is a German fashion and lifestyle house based in Metzingen that specializes in high-end menswear. It is named after its founder Hugo Boss (1885–1948). Hugo Boss started his clothing company in 1924 in Metzingen, a small town south of Stuttgart, where it is still based. However, due to the economic climate in Germany at the time Boss was forced into bankruptcy. In 1931 he reached an agreement with his creditors, leaving him with 6 sewing machines to start again.
