Diesel has long been a leading pioneer in denim and casual

fashion, known for leading the trends in the industry while

retaining its DNA. In recent years Diesel has evolved into the

world of premium casual wear, a true alternative to the

established luxury market.

Through its journey, Diesel’s philosophy is the same as when

Renzo Rosso created it in 1978: he envisaged a brand that

stands for passion, individuality and self-expression.

Diesel thrives on change: every new product derives from a

process of enormous creative freedom, ensuring constant

innovation. Brand lineup includes Diesel, Diesel Black Gold and

Diesel Kid.

Diesel is not just about apparel and denim: it’s a lifestyle, which

has been interpreted through partnerships with industry leaders

to develop watches and jewellery (with Fossil), eyewear (with

Marcolin), fragrances (with L'Oréal) and a complete Living

Collection (furniture with Moroso, lighting with Foscarini, kitchen

with Scavolini, tableware with Seletti, wooden flooring with Berti,

ceramic tiles with Iris).

Diesel is a truly global company, present in more than 80

countries with 5,000 points of sale, including over 275 mono-

brand stores.

MAISON MARGIELAMaison Margiela is a fashion house founded in 1988 by Belgian

designer Martin Margiela. The Paris-based house creates

clothes according to the uniquely unconventional principles

imagined by Martin Margiela himself, a philosophy in which

deconstruction and heritage go hand in hand to create designs

that showcase fashion as an art of meaning rather than a cult of

personality. Maison Margiela crosses the fashion spectrum from

its ‘Artisanal’ collection, which has held the “Haute Couture”

appellation since 2012, through ready-to-wear and accessories.

John Galliano was named Creative Director of the house in

2014, bringing his sense of spectacle and creative mastery to

the unique ethos of Maison Margiela. Whilst developing his own

vision for the house, John Galliano has entirely respected the

Martin Margiela state of mind, creating a fascinating organic

process.

Daring and ambiguous, the Maison designs Haute Couture,

women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, small leather goods,

footwear, fine jewelry, fragrances, interior design and MM6, its

contemporary line.

Maison Margiela has developed a strong online retail presence

and boutique network worldwide through signature store design

and exceptional customer experience. The brand is present in

key department and multibrand stores throughout Europe, the

US, and Asia.

MARNIFounded in 1994 , Marni built its success on an elusive yet

distinctive design signature that celebrates individuality. The

label’s visual language speaks of graphic rigor and

unconventional detailing, and it pushes the subtle and

subversive boundaries of function and proportion.

More than anything else, Marni is an avant-garde spirit that

juxtaposes artistic inventiveness, contrasting fabrics,

sculptural shapes and limitless creativity to craft a new,

quirky elegance.

In an ongoing dialogue with the art world, Marni involves

artists, both established and up-and-coming, in special

projects for both retail and product initiatives.

Marni’s core business focuses on women’s ready-to-wear,

bags and shoes, however it also offers menswear and

accessories, in addition to Bijoux, eyewear, childrenswear

and fragrances.

Since 2000, Marni has developed a strong retail presence

offline and online (where it pioneered e-commerce). The

brand's flagship stores and shops-in-shop are as

innovative, unique and unconventional as the clothes on

display.

2016 saw founder and creative director Consuelo

Castiglioni step down after over 20 years, and the

appointment of new creative director Francesco Risso.

FOSTERING CREATIVITY

Discovering, supporting, and fostering creativity is at the

core of OTB’s mission. Our group believes in young

talents and has contributed to financing several

initiatives that research and discover new creatives,

such as ITS, the international platform conceived in

2002 to launch and support young creative minds from

all over the world, or ANDAM (National Association for

the Development of the Fashion Arts), the largest

international fashion prize for new fashion designers

created in 1989 and providing not only a cash prize but

also strategic and commercial coaching.

Social Responsibility

SUPPORTING MADE IN ITALY

In 2013, Staff International signed an agreement with

Ifitalia-BNP Paribas Group, granting its best suppliers

easier and speedier access to credit at favored interest

rates, in line with those provided to OTB. The suppliers

eligible to benefit from the program are defined by an

objective rating based on quality of service, reliability in

timing, production and deliveries, and overall partnership

– technical assistance, certifications, etc.

Operation C.A.S.H. (Credito Agevolato-Suppliers Help)

marks the will to tangibly help Italy’s textile industry. This

initiative favors the worthiest partners of the company, and

contributes to the development and improvement of the

overall performance of the Italian industry.

HEADQUARTERS

Social Responsibility

In 2012 OTB won the bid of Venice’s City Council to

become the sponsor of the restoration of Rialto Bridge with

a contribution of 5 million euro.

This is the first complete restoration of the bridge since it

was built in 1590. The works had minimal impact on the

flow of pedestrians passing through the bridge, and will be

completed by the end of 2016 as planned. The investment

in the restoration will allow to cover the intervention also

on another artistic monument of the city.

RIALTO BRIDGE RESTORATIONOur headquarter is a 64,000m² stimulating environment

built on principles of eco-compatibility and alternative

sources of energy supply, such as solar energy and high

efficiency plants. The building hosts several services for

the employees and their families: a multifunctional

auditorium, a restaurant and a bar, a fully equipped gym,

two outdoor soccer & tennis fields, an indoor field, a

beauty center, and a kindergarten run according to an

innovative pedagogic method which places creativity and

self-expression at the center of its programs.

We developed a food recovery program with Sodexo Italia

and Fondazione Banco Alimentare Onlus to distribute

surplus food from our headquarters cafeteria to people in

need. Only in 2016, ten thousand meals have been

distributed as well as fruits, vegetables and bread, for the

economic equivalent of over 40,000 euro.

2 4OTB07/05/2018

ONLY THE BRAVE FOUNDATION

Only The Brave Foundation is a not-for-profit organization

established by OTB in 2008. As a leading supporter of the

group’s corporate social responsibility initiatives, its

mission is to rebalance social inequality and contribute to

the sustainable development of less advantaged

communities around the world. “Brave Actions for a Better

World.”

Driven by the belief that social entrepreneurship is an

alternative model of development, Only The Brave

Foundation supports many social enterprises in the

implementation of social-environmental solutions,

generating a positive and long-lasting impact on society.

Most of the funds are invested in international projects,

without of course forgetting Italy, in particular the territory

where the group is based.

In 2009, the foundation partnered with Millennium Promise

for the sustainable development of the village of Dioro, in

Mali, with combined interventions in agriculture, education,

health, and infrastructure, carried out with the active

participation of the local community in every phase to

ensure truly sustainable change.

Based on simplified project selection criteria: innovation,

direct social impact and sustainability, Only The Brave

Foundation has invested in about 200 social development

projects around the world, benefiting the lives of over

180,000 people.

At OTB, people care is the first of our concerns. Mutual

respect, collaboration, transparency and integrity are the

recipe of our team spirit and what keeps our relationship with

people special.

We live in a multinational and multicultural environment,

where differences and personal contributions are strongly

valued.

Our managers are trained and encouraged to nurture their

teams: assigning challenging but achievable goals,

recognizing and rewarding top performances, supporting

individual professional growth, allowing the best educational

and professional opportunities within the group, and ultimately

guaranteeing equal opportunities for all.

What makes us unique is our passion for innovation and

creativity. This is why we keep on questioning habits and

continuously expand the boundaries of our imagination. We

do not operate by “we have always done things this way”:

changing and evolving, creating new and better ways of

working and thinking, is our way to look to the future.

Obsessed with execution and details, we are aware that the

search for excellence, combined with the ambition of new

and even more challenging objectives is key to our success.

Taking responsibility for our ideas, choices and actions, we

work in a community where we can play at our best, feeling

free to stand up for our ideas and explore new ones.
