Ottolinger
ABOUT THE BRAND
Avant–garde darling Ottolinger is the brainchild of Swiss Designers Christa Boesch and Cosima Gadient. Launched in 2015, the directional label formed after the pair met at the Basel School of Design. Now based in Berlin, Ottolinger’s raw, subversive aesthetic has garnered industry-wide attention and international following. Classic styles are meticulously manipulated, splashed with bleach, dipped in rubber, de- and reconstructed into unconventional forms to create a nonconformist wardrobe with clear intent and a distinct signature. Ottolinger’s unorthodox approach paints a bold escape from the conventional confines of luxury fashion.
Why did you start your label/business?
After graduating from fashion school, we started thinking about which types of brands we would like to work for and felt like none of them truly represented our style - so we founded our own.
