Supporting young talents and nurturing creativity is deeply embedded in OTB's DNA, as well as in the vision of our Chairman Renzo Rosso. Through high-profile collaborations like this, we remain dedicated to revitalizing the fashion industry and reinforcing our commitment to fostering and enhancing creativity. As the main partner of the 2025 edition, OTB offered the ten finalists the opportunity to take part in a mentoring and coaching program on the best sustainability practices adopted by the Group as part of our Be Responsible. Be Brave. sustainability strategy. Renzo Rosso, OTB Founder and Chairman, commented: "Over the years, ITS has uncovered many designers who have gone on to become creative directors of some of the world’s most prestigious brands. I hope this year's finalists will also find their own path to success." #OTB #OTBGroup #ITSContest

MM6 Maison Margiela presented its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, closing the OTB brands’ shows at #MFW. ? Revealing the process is part of the MM6 practice. The enduring idea of the collection is to work on the wardrobe: a system of items that responds to needs and occasions, and which breaths and expands over time. ? The involvement of the wearer is always considered: there is individual freedom and personal intention?embedded in how the items are constructed, suggesting multiple ways on how they can be used. ? A muted palette of browns, greys and blacks, ruptured by accents of red and turquoise, captures the idea of straightforwardness, which carries over in the library of unequivocal materials such as mannish tailoring wools, sleek leathers, utilitarian cottons. ? #OTB #OTBGroup #OTBBrand #MM6MaisonMargiela #MFW
