Titled Girlfriend and conceived by Swiss design duo Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient, guests discovered a note on their seats upon arrival which read: “my friend, my partner in crime, and my Otto…I couldn’t imagine doing this without you,” addressed to Gadient, from Bösch. The pair first met while studying at The Institute of Fashion Design in Basel, Switzerland, and in January 2026, they will celebrate Ottolinger’s 10th anniversary.
