About Maison Margiela

About Maison Margiela Founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela, the Parisian haute couture house was founded on ideas of nonconformity and the subversion of norms. Enriched in the memory of shared codes, contemporary couture starts the conversation for a dynamic wardrobe proposal. The Maison is devoted to uncompromising creativity invigorated by authenticity, radicality and self-expression. Maison Margiela became part of the OTB  Group in 2002, and is under the creative direction of Glenn Martens since 2025. About OTB OTB is an international fashion group, powering a range of global, unconventional brands, including Diesel, Jil Sander, Maison Margiela, Marni, and Viktor&Rolf. The group also controls the Staff International and Brave Kid companies, and holds a stake in L.A. brand Amiri. OTB embodies the brave, innovative and unapologetic spirit and vision of its founder and chairman Renzo Rosso, who disrupted the world of fashion with an open-minded, highly creative mentality, aimed at “building not the biggest, but the most alternative fashion group,” as he stated.
