Only The Brave, S.p.A., commonly known as OTB Group, is an Italian multinational holding company specializing in luxury goods, headquartered in Breganze. The company was founded in 2002 by Renzo Rosso as a holding company for Diesel and future acquisitions of fashion houses. OTB Group is the parent company of brands including Diesel, Maison Margiela, Marni, Jil Sander, and Viktor & Rolf.
The company recorded an annual revenue of €1.9 billion in 2023. [2] Ubaldo Minelli has been CEO of the company since 2017.[3]
After acquiring complete control of Diesel in 1985, OTB's founder Renzo Rosso continued to grow his portfolio through the acquisition of Staff International, a fashion production, logistics, and marketing company, in October 2000.[4]
In 2002, OTB Group was founded as a holding company to invest in fashion designers and companies that lacked financial stability, but produced designs deemed creative and promising by Rosso.[5] Then, the company acquired French luxury fashion house Maison Margiela in 2002 and Dutch luxury fashion house Viktor & Rolf in 2008.
In 2011, Brave Kid was founded as a subsidiary of OTB Group that specializes in the product development, production, and distribution of licensed premium children's clothing and accessories. Brave Kid holds license agreements with Diesel, John Galliano, Dsquared², Marni,[6] N21 and Trussardi.[7]
Italian luxury fashion house Marni was acquired in 2012,[8] followed by Amiri in 2019 and Jil Sander in 2021.[9] In 2023, OTB Group acquired a majority stake in leather goods manufacturer Frassineti, long-term supplier of the Jil Sander brand.[10]
In June 2025, OTB announced the creation of its own legal entity in Mexico City as the first step in its expansion plan in the region.[11][12]
