OTTOLINGER

Berlin-based avant-garde fashion label Ottolinger was launched in 2015, breaking boundaries and conventions with expressive, deconstructivist designs that are gender non-conforming. After meeting at the Fashion Design Institute at HGK Basel, Swiss designers and founding pair Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient began their work creating uniquely juxtaposed, spliced-together styles. With the look and feel of one-of-a-kind, clothing features a distinctive combination of couture-level tailoring and radical deconstruction, with slashes, exposed seams and raw-edged cut-outs.
