Riassunto

“Denim was freedom, denim was the biggest dream,” says Renzo Rosso of the early days of Diesel, the premium casual brand he launched in 1978 revolutionizing the denim market. Today, Rosso stands at the helm of OTB, the alternative luxury fashion group that encompasses iconic fashion brands Diesel, Maison Margiela, Marni, Viktor&Rolf. These companies are connected by the same streak of rebellion that has marked Rosso’s own career—a sense of going against the grain and a commitment to creation that goes above and beyond commercial restraints, each of them embodying in their own way the group’s mantra, “Only The Brave, challenging the rules, fostering creativity”.
Radical Renaissance 60 traces the evolution of this forward-thinking visionary and his group of companies that bring humanity and philanthropy to the workplace and marry craftsmanship with industrial production. Featuring provocative photography from the most eye-catching campaigns, groundbreaking runway shows, and previously unreleased behind-the-scenes images, this volume explores the worlds of design visionaries from Martin Margiela (making an unexpected cameo appearance) to John Galliano, from Consuelo Castiglioni and Nicola Formichetti to Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, making it a must-have for any fashion enthusiast and industry professional.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

In the early 1970s, a young Renzo Rosso commandeered his mother's sewing machine to create a pair of extravagantly flared pants. He wore them, his friends wanted them too, and a clothing pioneer was born. He co-founded Diesel in 1978 and made it an iconic brand thanks to its unique products and the innovative, provocative tone of voice of its marketing. Today he is the father of six, the president of OTB, and a Millennium Development Goals Global Leader to the United Nations, thanks to his philanthropic work with his Only The Brave Foundation.
