If you read this blog regularly, you’ll know that womenswear has really peaked my interest in the last year. There has been an onslaught of womenswear brands on Instagram which has left me open to discovery. The beautiful world of femininity has become even more daring, opening itself up to a lane where avante garde meets ready to wear. One brand that fits nicely into this intersection is Ottolinger.
Owned by Berlin based duo Christa Bosch and Cosima Gadient, the brand presents eclectic collections which appear to be the sum of purposeful deconstruction to create editorial worthy pieces. From asymetrical painted jackets to velvet two pieces adorned in renaissance esque paintings, the brand has a penchant for unique styles.
Ottolinger has something of a cult following, in knowing some of them its clear that the brand attracts those who have a tendency to stray away from the norm. The brand is not for purists but for those who are ready to embrace the new. There is a tone of functioning dysfunction to Ottolinger, hence why it lends itself to dreamy artistic editorials. This endless stream of statement pieces will have you lingering at events just to maximise the wear.
