After Glenn Martens’ departure from Y/Project last year, rumors have swirled about his next move, with many speculating that he could be the next creative lead for Maison Margiela, succeeding John Galliano. While OTB, the parent company of Margiela, has not confirmed the news, reports indicate that Renzo Rosso has approached Martens for the role. Since becoming Diesel’s creative director in 2020, Martens has cultivated a dedicated following, and his brief stint as a guest designer for Jean Paul Gaultier in 2022 further showcased his talents. Having spent over a decade at Y/Project, Martens is known for creating cult-like brand followings. OTB also oversees brands such as Jil Sander, Marni, Viktor & Rolf, and holds a stake in Amiri.
