History

Marni was founded in Milan, Italy in 1994 by Swiss designer Consuelo Castiglioni, originally as an offshoot of the family’s fur business.[6]

From 2000, the company began to open stores in high-end department stores. During this period, Marni also began a virtual store.

In 2012, Marni launched a collection for H&M, with clothes and accessories for both men and women.[7]

The Castiglioni family sold 60 percent of the company to Renzo Rosso's OTB Group in 2012[8][9] before the company was fully acquired by the OTB Group in 2015.[10] In 2016, Marni appointed Francesco Risso as Creative Director.[11][12]

In 2018, the company appointed Stefano Biondo as its CEO.[13] He was succeeded by Barbara Calò in 2019.[14]
