Belgian designer Glenn Martens has been appointed creative director of Maison Margiela with immediate effect, the brand and its owner OTB said on Wednesday.

Martens is currently creative director of Diesel, another brand owned by Italian luxury group OTB, which added that he would continue in that position while also holding the new job.

In December, Maison Margiela announced it was parting ways with its artistic director John Galliano after 10 years.
