Ottolinger SS26
Kristina Nagel and Anna Uddenberg walked in Ottolinger’s Resort 2026 show in Berlin. Their presence gave structure and tension to a cast chosen with clarity. The atmosphere took shape from the start. Sandstorm by Darude set a rhythm that aligned with the pace of the collection. Sharp, physical, and without hesitation.
Titled Heidi, the show opened with Kim Petras and introduced a figure who acts without seeking permission. She breaks rules first, without waiting. The collection followed that attitude with precision. Skin-tight mesh, printed jersey, sharp tailoring, and glossy finishes shaped a wardrobe built for movement.
Tailoring arrived fragmented, layered in a way that avoided symmetry. Coated denim reflected the light with a surface that looked sealed and heavy. Painted latex closed the sequence with silhouettes designed for speed, not for seduction.
The Nike collaboration moved with the same intensity. Footwear and accessories were not added for contrast but came as part of the same logic. Fast glasses, high-impact styling, and hard materials gave the looks clarity. No references to nostalgia or softness appeared across the collection.
Ottolinger approached Resort 2026 with full intention. The casting, the music, the textures, and the construction worked together without pause. Heidi moved forward, kept her distance, and stayed ahead.
