Ottolinger was founded in 2016 by Swiss designers Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient.
Based in Berlin, the research & design studio Ottolinger Agency and its label are built on a logic where production happens through transformation and intervention; and ‘raw materials’ are often existing conditions and forms. Attentive to both the technical and emotional dimensions of clothing, Ottolinger has become known for its distinctive language of modern construction: garments morph, bodies flex, nothing is static; pieces adapt as real life unfolds. The studio creates through de- and reconstruction, intuitively combining industrial methods with exacting couture-level craftsmanship to produce outcomes that are at once raw and refined.
