Hugo Boss has appointed Christian Kuhn as Head of Innovation.

Kuhn has been with the Metzingen fashion retailer since mid-February, he writes on his Linkedin profile.

This is one of the most exciting times for innovation in the fashion industry, with Hugo Boss realizing its full potential and taking a central role in shaping the future of the industry.”
