OTB is also the parent company of Marni, Diesel and Viktor&Rolf.
Only The Brave (OTB) has officially announced that it has acquired 100 percent of fashion brand Jil Sander.

According to Yahoo, founder and president of OTB Renzo Rosso released a statement saying, “I have admired and respected Jil Sander since the fashion house was first established. Despite the changes of ownership and creative direction, the house has always stayed true to its founder’s vision, maintaining an absolute commitment to beauty, quality, and its signature minimalist approach. To be able to welcome this timeless jewel to our group of unique, unconventional labels is an honor and a long-term undertaking.”
