To Look Backwards Is to Die." On Sunday, October 2nd, Ottolinger presented its Spring/Summer 2023 collection in Paris. Titled Aqua, it was an homage to fluidity, feminine power, and velocity expressed through a succession of draped skirts and dresses, mesh ensembles, punkish ripped knitwear, and color-treated denim.
Collaborating with Camper in the conception of some of the collection's shoes, Berlin-based designers Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient were inspired by the Spanish brand's Zodiac shoe after discovering it in Camper's archive and falling in love with it. Futuristic rubber-wrapped pumps and technical boots made of neoprene brought a forward-looking edge to the show.
The partnership marks the second collaboration between the two brands. Camper x Ottolinger's first collection for the Autumn/Winter 2022 season will be unveiled this October.
