Luxury retail’s next frontier may not begin on the runway or even inside the fitting room, but within the increasingly intelligent relationship between technology and personal style. In a move that signals how fashion conglomerates are redefining customer engagement, OTB Group has partnered with Google Cloud to launch an AI-powered hyper-personalized shopping experience designed to transform the future of clienteling.
The collaboration introduces a new Virtual Try-On technology across OTB’s portfolio, beginning with Diesel and Jil Sander in the United States and Europe before expanding to Marni and Maison Margiela. Built on Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, the initiative positions generative AI not as a replacement for luxury service, but as an enhancement of it—placing sophisticated visualization tools directly into the hands of client advisors.
At a moment when luxury consumers expect immediacy, personalization, and emotional connection across every touchpoint, the partnership reflects a broader shift in how fashion brands are approaching omnichannel retail. Rather than treating digital commerce and in-store experiences as separate ecosystems, OTB’s approach merges them into a continuous dialogue powered by AI.
The Virtual Try-On platform allows advisors to generate hyper-realistic styling previews tailored to individual clients, offering a detailed 360-degree visualization of how garments fit and move on the body. The experience aims to reduce friction between online browsing and physical shopping while elevating the role of the sales associate into something closer to a stylist, creative consultant, and brand storyteller.
For Renzo Rosso, Chairman and Founder of OTB Group, the project represents the realization of a long-developing vision centered on technology’s ability to amplify creativity and human connection rather than diminish it.
“I have always believed in technology as a strategic lever to enhance human talent, at the service of people and creativity,” Rosso said. “Artificial Intelligence represents an extraordinary opportunity to make the customer experience more advanced, engaging and personalized.”
That philosophy is increasingly shaping the luxury sector’s adoption of AI. While many brands initially approached artificial intelligence through operational efficiencies or data analytics, fashion houses are now exploring how generative AI can deepen emotional engagement and exclusivity—two pillars that define luxury itself.
OTB’s implementation goes beyond digital fitting. Customers will also be able to insert themselves into Diesel and Jil Sander campaign imagery using AI image editing technology powered by Google’s Nano Banana model. Those visuals can then be animated through Veo, Google’s video-generation large language model, creating immersive campaign-style content personalized for individual consumers.
The move reflects the growing convergence of fashion, entertainment, and personalized media. Consumers are no longer passive audiences for campaigns; increasingly, they expect to participate within them.
For Google Cloud, the collaboration highlights how enterprise AI is evolving beyond automation into experience design. “Technology is at its best when it solves real-world challenges for the customer,” said Matt Renner, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Google Cloud. “By integrating Google Cloud’s Virtual Try-On, OTB Group is pushing past standard transactions to provide client advisors with the AI tools needed to deliver deeply personal, confident shopping experiences at a global scale.”
The partnership also underscores how fashion conglomerates are becoming technology ecosystems in their own right. OTB—which oversees Diesel, Jil Sander, Maison Margiela, Marni, Viktor&Rolf, Staff International, and Brave Kid—has steadily invested in digital infrastructure as part of its long-term growth strategy. This latest initiative further reinforces the group’s ambition to build a technology-driven luxury business while preserving the distinct creative identities of its brands.
As luxury retail continues adapting to changing consumer behavior, the industry’s competitive edge may increasingly depend on how effectively brands translate personalization into emotional resonance. In that sense, OTB and Google Cloud are not simply launching another retail tool—they are testing a model for how AI could reshape the future architecture of luxury commerce itself.
