Marni is known for prints and colour combinations that break conventional rules, and it began when a family with a fur business asked their daughter-in-law to modernise it. OTB acquired control in 2012. OTB owns it, and the founder left in 2016 after the sale, so the house now operates entirely under designers who did not create it.
