Brand intelligence
Marni
Marni is the Milan fashion house founded in 1994 by Consuelo Castiglioni. It is known for an independent approach to colour, print, proportion, texture and dressing that has made imperfection, curiosity and personal styling central to its language. The house is part of OTB Group. Meryll Rogge was appointed Creative Director in July 2025 after Francesco Risso’s 2016–2025 tenure; both periods are recorded as distinct creative chapters. The profile preserves Castiglioni’s founder legacy without presenting it as a current role, and keeps OTB’s consolidated reporting separate from Marni-specific business performance unless a source explicitly isolates the brand.
