Fragrance house

Marni

Marni was founded in Milan in 1994 by Consuelo and Gianni Castiglioni, growing from the Castiglioni family’s fur business into a house defined by experimental prints, textures, materials, colour, and architectural or sculptural silhouettes. OTB invested in Marni in 2013 and took full control in 2015. Francesco Risso became creative director in 2016, introducing immersive shows and artistic collaborations during his tenure, which ended in June 2025. On 15 July 2025, Meryll Rogge was appointed creative director, with a brief to reinterpret Marni’s established identity across the house’s creative work. Marni entered fragrance in 2013 with its first scent, developed with Carolina Castiglioni to express elements of the brand’s visual language, including its signature polka dots.
