  • 2019 Financial Results Confirm Good Momentum for the Group
    2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS CONFIRM GOOD MOMENTUM FOR THE GROUP Breganze (Italy), March 10, 2020. The 2019 financial results proved particularly positive for OTB, the Italian fashion group and parent company of Diesel, Maison Margiela, Marni, Viktor&Rolf, Amiri, Staff International and Brave Kid. The group’s turnover exceeded 1.5 billion euro, coming in at 1,530 million, up 6,4% compared to 2018, and growing in all businesses, channels (retail grew by 9%), and regions. Consolidated EBITDA landed at 190 million euro, while EBIT was positive at 18 million, with a significant change in trend compared to the previous year. The group’s net financial position improved further reaching 124 million euro (excluding any IFRS16 effect), confirming the strong capitalization of the group, and its ability to support future growth. 2019 saw important investments such as the acquisition of a stake in Amiri, an increased stake in Viktor&Rolf (from 51% to 70%), and the opening of over 70 single brand stores around the world. DIESEL returned to growth, recording a 2.6% increase in turnover and intensifying the reorganization of its distribution network. It opened 45 single brand stores with a new interior design concept, moving many existing stores to locations more consistent with the brand positioning, and closing those no longer in line with strategy and expected results. In the wholesale channel, the company continued its work of selecting strategic partners, while e-commerce recorded growth of 24.3% for the direct channel which, added to the indirect e-commerce business, made the total online business account for over 11% of the brand’s turnover.

The relevance of the research: the relevance of the chosen topic is explained by the need for a synchronous description and analysis of toponymic, cultural-historical, linguistic, cultural, ethnolinguistic, and sociolinguistic traditions and representations of a complex and multi-level toponymic system on the example of one Dagestan city - the capital of the Republic - Makhachkala. It is a unique phenomenon of Russian and Dagestan linguistic cultures mix, which united into a single one. Research methods: the scientific research paper considers the basic principles of urbanonyms’ nomination, the most frequent word-building patterns of both official and unofficial names of urban objects and microtoponyms of present and past. The specifics of the post-Soviet Dagestan city linguistic landscape have been revealed as its shows socio-political, economic, cultural and ideological tendencies of different periods of Russian history. Toponyms are considered not only from the perspective of structural, semantic and functional aspects, but also from the point of cognition. Special attention is paid to ergonyms as a significant part of urbanization.

    THINKTANK RETAIL NICK GRAHAM SHOCKER ON WHY MEN MEN’S WEARHOUSE ARE THE NEW OUSTS GEORGE ZIMMER. WOMEN. PAGE MW2 WIND IN THEIR SAILS PAGE MW4 CREATURES OF THE WIND GETS NEW INVESTOR. PAGE 2 APPEAL EXPECTED Dolce and Gabbana Guilty in Tax Trial By LUISA ZARGANI SPRING 2014 MILAN — Guilty. That was the verdict handed down to Domenico MILAN Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, as well as four other MEN’S defendants, here Wednesday afternoon in the design- COLLECTION ers’ long-running tax evasion case. Judge Antonella THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY ■ $3.00 PREVIEW Brambilla sentenced the designers and accountant Luciano Patelli to one year and eight months in jail, WWD plus legal expenses. Dolce’s brother Alfonso, gen- eral director Cristiana Ruella and fi nance director Giuseppe Minoni were sentenced to one year and four months in jail plus legal expenses. There is little chance the designers and the other defendants will serve any jail time because the sen- tences are below the two-year minimum generally re- quired in Italy to do so. The defendants were also charged with paying the Revenue Agency a provisional fi ne of 500,000 euros, or $668,650 at current exchange. The plaintiff solicitor Gabriella Valadia at the end of May asked for a provision- al fi ne of 10 million euros, or $13 million, citing damages to the image of the Revenue Service. Valadia at the time claimed that tax evasion “shows a system that is not cred- ible and effi cacious, it hurts the credibility of the Italian fi scal system, aggravated by the fact that the individuals at the center of the trial are so famous.” The court’s fi ne is separate from one imposed by the Revenue Agency of more than 400 million euros, or $535 million at current exchange, at the end of March.

  • From the Desk Of: Massimo Alba
    Barneys Man March 3rd, 2016 (http://thewindow.barneys.com/category/barneys- Benjamin Jackson man/) From The Desk Of: Massimo Alba Photographed by Justin Bridges (http://www.justinbridges.com/) The veteran designer gives us an inside look at his Milan home and work space. It may be apt to call Massimo Alba (http://www.barneys.com/barneys-new- york?pagetype=brand&prefn1=brand&prefv1=Massimo%20Alba) an old- school designer, considering that he cut his teeth working for Italian brands like Malo and Piombo and his own namesake line focuses on quality hand- made pieces manufactured in Italian workshops using soft, luxurious fabrics. But if he’s old-school, it’s safe to say his home and work space is really old- school. That’s because he’s based at Palazzo Atellani (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Atellani), a fifteenth century villa in the heart of Milan that was once the residence of Leonardo da Vinci. With its airy feeling and amazing natural light, the palazzo both inspires Alba in the creativity of his designs and is itself a reflection of that creativity and inspiration. The designer recently invited us into his space and gave us a tour of the special place he calls home. Read on to find out about his antique plants, why he’s so obsessed with lamps, and what life lessons he’s learned from his dog. Then head over to Barneys (http://www.barneys.com/barneys- new-york?pagetype=brand&prefn1=brand&prefv1=Massimo%20Alba) to see how this same unexpected charm filters into the clothing he creates.
