Berlin-based label, Ottolinger, founded by Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient, is known for its experimental designs and destructive aesthetics. The designers draw inspiration from Chinese science fiction author Hao Jingfang, giving their collections a cinematic and otherworldly quality. They emphasize their connection to literature and books, using storytelling as a foundation for their projects. Despite growing international recognition, Ottolinger remains self-funded, allowing them the freedom to shape the brand.
