"I am extremely happy about this new entry in the group. Marni represents exactly the concept of fashion I would love to see associated with OTB. A style that's unique, recognizable, individual, fresh and modern. And an outlook that is always international. I have an incredible respect for Consuelo's talent and I am sure that the association between her creative vision and the support and know-how of OTB will take Marni to new, incredible goals", stated Renzo Rosso.
"I am satisfied of the agreement reached with OTB. This offers an extraordinary opportunity for the further development for our company, whilst preserving the brand's identity and the entrepreneurial spirit of our family", commented Gianni Castiglioni.
