Ottolinger
About Ottolinger
THE ELECTRICALLY AVANT-GARDE OTTOLINGER WAS FOUNDED IN 2016 BY SWISS DESIGNERS CHRISTA BÖSCH AND COSIMA GADIENT.
NOW BASED IN BERLIN, THE DIRECTIONAL LABEL IS BELOVED FOR ITS CHARGED SILHOUETTES THAT BALANCE RADICAL DECONSTRUCTION AND IMMACULATE TAILORING. FABRIC IS BURNED AND SLASHED, SEAMS ARE EXPOSED, EDGES ARE RAW AND YET ALL IS PRECISELY HARNESSED IN OTTOLINGER’S SUMPTUOUS FORMS.
EACH COLLECTION FROM THIS SELF-MADE LABEL PUSHES TOWARDS A SINGULAR NEW-NESS, ALWAYS EXPLOITING THE TENSION BETWEEN DESTRUCTION AND TRANSFORMATION, CREATING A HALO OF CON- FIDENCE FOR THE WEARER.
WITH ITS CULT FOLLOWING, AND PUNK APPROACH TO COUTURE LEVEL TAILORING, OTTOLINGER POSES AN ABSOLUTE CHALLENGE TO THE STATUS QUO OF LUXURY FASHION.
