Polimoda Rendez-Vous with Renzo Rosso | Founder of Diesel and President of OTB Group Renzo Rosso

On July 20th at 6 pm, the Polimoda Rendez-Vous series hosted legendary Italian fashion entrepreneur Renzo Rosso, founder of Diesel and president of OTB group. Born in the province of Padua in 1955, Renzo Rosso created his first pair of jeans at the age of 15, founding the game-changing global brand Diesel less than a decade later. His vintage-driven alternative product has revolutionized denim, making it a staple of modern-day wardrobes and propelling it into the world of luxury. Today Rosso is the president of OTB, the parent company of fashion brands Diesel, Maison Margiela, Marni, Paula Cademartori, Viktor & Rolf, state-of-the-art company Staff International (a symbol of ‘Made in Italy’) and childrenswear producer and distributor Brave Kid. A true force to be reckoned with, the 2017 revenues for OTB exceeded 1.5 billion euros. Unique and daring, iconic and innovative, Rosso keeps creativity at the heart of all company endeavors. During his lecture, the fashion mogul delivered precious insight on his personal and company history, touching on the group’s mission of challenging conventions and fostering creativity to channel a new breed of consumers. ========================= The complete list of Polimoda Rendez-Vous: http://www.polimoda.com/category/guest-lectures/ Follow us on: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Polimoda Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/polimodafirenze Twitter - https://twitter.com/polimodafirenze LinkedIn - https://twitter.com/polimodafiren
