Ottolinger is a Berlin-based womenswear label founded in 2015 by Swiss designers Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient, who met while studying at the Basel School of Design. Collections are built on deconstruction: twisted and shredded knitwear, cut-out jersey dresses fastened with hardware, distressed denim, moulded bra tops and raw-edged tailoring that reject conventional ideas of a flattering silhouette. The pair were LVMH Prize semi-finalists in 2018 and now show on the Paris Fashion Week calendar, with recurring Puma footwear and apparel collaborations extending the brand beyond ready-to-wear.

How Ottolinger fits
| Category | Runs | Shape | Length | Size advice | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | Boxy, dropped-shoulder and deliberately distorted | Long body and sleeves | Consider sizing down one if you don't want a heavily oversized look. | low |
| Trousers & pants | mixed | Raw-edged tailoring that is either slouchy and wide or cut narrow and low on the hip | Generally long | Go by the specific style — the tailored pairs sit small on the waist while the draped ones run generous. | low |
| Jeans & denim | slightly large | Relaxed to baggy, low-slung and distressed | Long — often pools at the ankle | Size down if you want the waist to sit securely, since the denim is cut loose through hip and leg. | low |
| Jackets | runs large | Deconstructed and roomy with dropped shoulders | Regular to long | Your usual size gives a loose layered fit; size down for something closer to the body. | low |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | Close-fitting, often twisted or cut-out jersey that clings | Short to cropped | Take your usual size and rely on the stretch, or size up if you dislike a second-skin fit. | low |
Does Ottolinger run big or small?
Ottolinger varies by piece. Check the piece type rather than the label: take your usual size in stretch jersey and consider sizing down in the intentionally oversized knits, denim and tailoring. Shoppers report Ottolinger sizing is inconsistent by category — deconstructed knits, denim and outerwear tend to come up generous and slouchy, while jersey and cut-out pieces are cut small and rely on stretch, so most people go by the individual garment rather than a single size.
