Galliano debacle aside, we’ve not been reminded of certain “unpleasant” associations in the fashion industry for quite some time. Well, the past has resurfaced again, as news of a new Hugo Boss investigation has made headlines.

The company recently financed a historical study of the period between 1924 and 1945, the times leading up to and during the Second World War to clear the air about Boss’s association with the Nazis. So far we already all knew that Hugo Ferdinand Boss himself was a member of the Nazi party, but after the war he claimed to have joined only to save his business, which was facing bankruptcy in the early ‘30s.

The new study shows that Boss was a loyal member of the Nazis, won the bid to make the infamous brown shirts worn by the party, and was a personal tailor to Hitler. Boss’ factories used forced, mostly-female labour during the war, about 140 kidnapped Poles and French, brought in during a wartime employee shortage. Something nice to say about him (if you can call it nice?) is that he showed some concern for their welfare.

The company has issued an apology on its website but isn’t it pretty irrelevant at this point, over 60 years later? We are unsure as to why Hugo Boss chose now to bring all this info to light. We just hope it didn’t cost too much.

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone have pushed their highly, hotly anticipated nuptials to August, citing MJ’s work schedule. So now we’re going to have move our whole vacation around. [WWD]

Want to see Karl Lagerfeld’s barn in Vermont? Apparently, it will be making an appearance in Chanel’s fall campaign. Do you think he keeps livestock in there? A cache of Diet Coke? So many questions… [Fashionologie]

The discussion of men’s brows continues. James Dean comes in at number 2 on this list, after Robert Pattinson. What? And why is Zac Efron there? And unfortunately for Janine at BeautyGeeks, the Rock didn’t make the cut. This is clearly a hot-button issue. [Beauty Blogging Junkie]
