8 DIESEL Diesel has long been a leading pioneer in denim and casual fashion, known for leading the trends in the industry while retaining its DNA. In recent years Diesel has evolved into the world of premium casual wear, a true alternative to the established luxury market. Through its journey, Diesel s philosophy is the same as when Renzo Rosso created it in 1978: he envisaged a brand that stands for passion, individuality and self-expression. Diesel thrives on change: every new product derives from a process of enormous creative freedom, ensuring constant innovation. Brand lineup includes Diesel, Diesel Black Gold and Diesel Kid. Diesel is not just about apparel and denim: it s a lifestyle, which has been interpreted through partnerships with industry leaders to develop watches and jewellery (with Fossil), eyewear (with Marcolin), fragrances (with L'Oréal) and a complete Living Collection (furniture with Moroso, lighting with Foscarini, kitchen with Scavolini, tableware with Seletti, wooden flooring with Berti, ceramic tiles with Iris). Diesel is a truly global company, present in more than 80 countries with 5,000 points of sale, including over 275 monobrand stores. 06/03/2018 Our Companies > Diesel 8

10 MAISON MARGIELA Maison Margiela is a fashion house founded in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. The Paris-based house creates clothes according to the uniquely unconventional principles imagined by Martin Margiela himself, a philosophy in which deconstruction and heritage go hand in hand to create designs that showcase fashion as an art of meaning rather than a cult of personality. Maison Margiela crosses the fashion spectrum from its Artisanal collection, which has held the Haute Couture appellation since 2012, through ready-to-wear and accessories. John Galliano was named Creative Director of the house in 2014, bringing his sense of spectacle and creative mastery to the unique ethos of Maison Margiela. Whilst developing his own vision for the house, John Galliano has entirely respected the Martin Margiela state of mind, creating a fascinating organic process. Daring and ambiguous, the Maison designs Haute Couture, women s and men s ready-to-wear, small leather goods, footwear, fine jewelry, fragrances, interior design and MM6, its contemporary line. Maison Margiela has developed a strong online retail presence and boutique network worldwide through signature store design and exceptional customer experience. The brand is present in key department and multibrand stores throughout Europe, the US, and Asia. 06/03/2018 Our Companies > Maison Margiela 10

12 MARNI Founded in 1994, Marni built its success on an elusive yet distinctive design signature that celebrates individuality. The label s visual language speaks of graphic rigor and unconventional detailing, and it pushes the subtle and subversive boundaries of function and proportion. More than anything else, Marni is an avant-garde spirit that juxtaposes artistic inventiveness, contrasting fabrics, sculptural shapes and limitless creativity to craft a new, quirky elegance. In an ongoing dialogue with the art world, Marni involves artists, both established and up-and-coming, in special projects for both retail and product initiatives. Marni s core business focuses on women s ready-to-wear, bags and shoes, however it also offers menswear and accessories, in addition to Bijoux, eyewear, childrenswear and fragrances. Since 2000, Marni has developed a strong retail presence offline and online (where it pioneered e-commerce). The brand's flagship stores and shops-in-shop are as innovative, unique and unconventional as the clothes on display saw founder and creative director Consuelo Castiglioni step down after over 20 years, and the appointment of new creative director Francesco Risso. 06/03/2018 Our Companies > Marni 12
