Renzo Rosso, founder of Diesel and president of the OTB Group, will be awarded the Positive Change Award during the Fashion Awards Ceremony at Monte-Carlo Fashion Week on April 24, 2025…

 The ceremony, part of the tenth edition of the fashion week taking place from April 22 to 26, will recognise leaders and creatives who are shaping the future of fashion with ethical and innovative approaches.

Rosso is celebrated for his longstanding commitment to responsible business practices and his pioneering vision of a more circular and sustainable fashion industry. Through his work with OTB Group, which includes brands such as Maison Margiela, Marni, and Viktor & Rolf, he has consistently promoted values of environmental and social responsibility, while maintaining a strong emphasis on creativity and innovation.

The Positive Change Award acknowledges Rosso’s impact as a trailblazer whose influence extends beyond fashion, inspiring a wider movement toward meaningful transformation in the industry. His dedication to fostering conscious entrepreneurship and supporting emerging designers has positioned him as a key figure in the global shift toward sustainable luxury. Monte-Carlo Fashion Week, under the High Patronage of HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco, continues to serve as a platform for dialogue, recognition, and celebration of fashion’s evolving role in society. The 2025 edition promises to spotlight bold ideas and individuals—like Renzo Rosso—who are leading the way toward a more inclusive, responsible, and forward-thinking industry.
