Christa Bosch and Cosima Gadient know how to set a runway, and for their Spring/Summer 2025 collection, they made a striking entrance with an inflatable shark mouth through which the models appeared. This dynamic introduction to Ottolinger’s new collection set the stage for a show that embodied resilience, femininity, and the intersection of nature and urbanity.
The brand’s S/S 2025 collection balanced powerful and ethereal elements, creating a modern odyssey of fashion. Each look was a testament to the designers’ vision of contemporary womanhood—fierce, adaptable, and constantly evolving. Set against the concrete backdrop of a Parisian runway, the collection was a seamless blend of sleekness, practicality, and artistic vision.
A central theme of the show was the juxtaposition of strength and vulnerability, embodied by the striking imagery of a shark with a bloodied mouth. Detachable pieces created voluminous and dimensional shapes, long jersey dresses, statement black halter pieces, and crystal-studded sandals stood out, while foiled leather jackets and playful accessories like reimagined handbags adorned with credit cards or even headphones, adding rebellious flair with a futuristic chic appearance. Collaborations with Shayne Oliver and Shark Beauty also enriched the collection, adding playful and avant-garde elements to the aesthetic.
