Ottolinger’s autumn winter collection arrives at Maxfield Los Angeles

Ottolinger has commandeered the storefronts of Maxfield Los Angeles with its autumn winter 2026 campaign, a visual takeover that sees the Berlin label’s sculptural silhouettes and liquid textures dominate the iconic West Hollywood destination. Shot by photographer Daniel Sannwald, the campaign pulses with an almost liquid intensity, each image rendered in the house’s signature palette of deep blacks and luminous jewel tones that seem to absorb light rather than reflect it.

The collection itself speaks to Ottolinger’s ongoing fascination with the body as architecture. Pleated fabrics cascade like architectural folds down elongated silhouettes, while structured bodices suggest a kind of controlled drama. A long sleeved gown moves between liquid and architectural, its draped skirt pooling on polished surfaces in a gesture both elegant and commanding. The hand appears almost sculptural against fabric, emphasizing the sensuality of material and movement.

What strikes most forcefully in Sannwald’s lens is the way Ottolinger refuses sentimentality in favour of raw, architectural elegance. The campaign feels deliberately cool, almost otherworldly, as if the garments exist in their own rarefied atmosphere. Against the warm red glow of Maxfield’s storefront installations, and the cooler palette of the campaign imagery itself, the collection achieves an almost hyperreal quality. This is fashion as spatial experience, where the boundary between garment, body and environment dissolves entirely.

The takeover runs at Maxfield Los Angeles during the campaign period, with the collection available through the luxury retailer.
