Berlin-based fashion label Ottolinger unveiled its latest collection for Fall/Winter 2018 at Paris Fashion Week. The entire collection visually looks like it has endured some serious heat, with offerings that appear burnt, shredded and melted. Ottolinger delivered a series of long skirts, collared tops, sweaters, button-down shirts, miniature bags, denim pieces and gingham pieces.
The Ottolinger Fall/Winter 2018 collection made such a statement that it was nominated for the LVMH prize. One standout item from the capsule is the small melted handbag with clear handles and a pink body. There's also shredded and burnt detailed gingham, denim tops and bottoms that have adopted destroyed concepts and checkerboard green pants. Additionally, there are also pieces such as fur-lined coats and sheer dresses offered in the new Ottolinger collection.
