Good to see that Scouse wins out against corporate giants..
Fashion giant Hugo Boss has dropped its legal fight with an artist over his use of the word “boss” in a clothing range. Reports the BBC
John Charles, from Huyton, Merseyside, planned to launch the merchandise as a spin-off from online art lessons he started during the first lockdown.
Mr Charles, who ends lessons by saying “Be boss, be kind”, said an agreement had been reached over the slogan.
Hugo Boss confirmed it had “reached an amicable solution with Mr Charles that does justice to both sides”.
The artist’s sign-off was so popular it led to a demand for merchandise with the motto, which caught the attention of the German fashion brand.
The word “boss” is Liverpool slang for great.
Mr Charles said: “I’m buzzing – it is just boss. The key thing is that we’re able to continue our free online art classes and release our merchandise.”
