Ottolinger Fall Winter 2021

MARCH 2, 2021
WORDS JESÚS S FERRERA


Ottolinger presentation for Fall Winter 2021 was quick, concise, no excess. The set was a clean white catwalk surrounded by what looked like an artificial dessert: greyish soil or dust and few isolated grasses. It didn’t last more than a minute and a half: the models were also presented quickly, without time to dither, rethink, or assimilate what we just experienced.

The Berlin-based label announced this collection as one for a “drastically changed world.” It is, fundamentally, a grand tale of both “realism and futural magic; a melting of past-reinterpretation and future-hopecrafting.”

This drastically changed world that they present has produced a renewal of our faith in the power of creativity, which is reflected in a “future-elf” collection. With that renewal come themes of rebellion, resistance, transformation of tradition, a defiance of authority. And honestly, that is what Ottolinger has always stood for and represented: a fearless and constant reconsideration of the luxury fashion’s status quo.

The collection features “healing knits, comforting dresses, exaggerated and dreamlike prints by Cheyenne Julien, business suits for the 3rd dimension, and shielding outerwear intuitively sculpted as if by nature, after a billion of years of random mutations.” Ultimately, the pieces are capable of conveying many things at once: comfort, happiness, intense curiosity.
