Christa B\u00f6sch and Cosima Gadient of Berlin-based label Ottolinger are vehemently opposed to labels.\u201cIt\u2019s always interesting to hear an opinion and see how people interpret our collection, what they think when they look at it, or how they feel when they wear it, but we don\u2019t want to feed our generation of references,\u201d says B\u00f6sch. \u201cIf we name anything, we are likely to be far too much associated with them.\u201d Of course, that makes the designers instantly more compelling, and caught the eye of VFiles, who gave them a prized spot at their crowd-sourced AW16 NYFW show.<\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s brand of low-tech engineering is all about subverting couture tropes. Raw jersey, denim and lace are stitched together into exaggerated shapes then shredded further. \u201cWe like that the pieces never feel finished,\u201d explain the designers. \u201cIt\u2019s about mixing what came before us and what we know, because nothing is original,\u201d they\u2019re quick to add. One label they won\u2019t be able to shake for now is \u201cpyrotechnic designers\u201d, having burned holes and raw edges into the collection for their VFiles debut which had judges Virgil Abloh and Harold Koda in awe. \u201cIt was pretty radical and could have gone really badly,\u201d they admit. \u201cBut we wanted to change the structure of something that\u2019s normally treated very delicately, so it\u2019s an interesting combination.\u201d They don\u2019t rule out making it an Ottolinger motif.<\/p>\n

B\u00f6sch and Gadient met at industry-favourite Basel School of Design in Switzerland, where three years being disaffected \u201cmisfits\u201d with the same sense of humour gave birth to Ottolinger (\u201cthe name on our neighbour\u2019s doorbell at our first studio\u201d). They run their current studio out of Berlin purely for economical reasons but insist that today you don\u2019t have to be based in one particular place to run a brand. \u201cThe beauty of everything existing online is you don\u2019t have to be tied to one place.\u201d They\u2019ve put on a DIY presentation in London\u2019s ICA and are planning on showing in Paris next. \u201cThere really is no plan,\u201d confess the designers, who use each other as creative springboards. \u201cThe only thing we live by is \u2014 would we wear it ourselves?\u201d<\/p>\n
