With the rise of the Nazi Party in the 1930s, Boss began to produce and sell Nazi uniforms. After World War II and the founder's death in 1948, Hugo Boss started to turn its focus from uniforms to men's suits. The company went public in 1988.
As of 2018[update] it owned more than 1,113 retail stores worldwide.[2]
Hugo Boss along with the Guggenheim Museum administers the Hugo Boss Prize which is given annually to artists from around the world.[3]
