Hugo Boss prepares firs store opening with the Hugo brand. Two years after simplifying its portfolio and passing to operate only with the labels Hugo and Boss, the German group is about to inaugurate in London its first standalone Hugo shop.

 

The point of sale will be located in the Westfield London shopping centre of the British capital and will have a surface of 144 square meters. The store has an area in which customers can charge their cell phones, read international magazines or have a drink.

 

For the remainder of the year, the group plans to open ten new stores with the Hugo brand. The brand specializes in casual fashion, while Boss offers the tailoring and athleisure collections of the German company.

 

 

 

 

At the end of 2016, Hugo Boss announced a simplification of its brand portfolio in order to return to profitability. The move meant that casual fashion lines Boss Orange and Boss Green, will be incorporated into the Boss main collection, which will continue to focus on its traditional positioning in the premium range. The company also announced plans to shift its positioning and abandon its endeavours in the luxury segment.
