Marcel Ostertag F/W 25 – INSOMNIA

Berlin Fashion Week! Marcel Ostertag’s new collection, INSOMNIA, invites us into a realm of nocturnal ecstasy and restless longing. It captures the vibrant essence of nightlife—exciting, mystical, and fueled by endless energy. Drawing inspiration from the club culture of the 1970s and modern electronic rhythms, Ostertag creates a collection that not only embraces the moment but also reflects it in fashion.

Featuring a unique mix of patterns influenced by 70s light and lamp designs alongside graphically altered jungle prints, this collection unfolds as a visual festivity. In an innovative approach, Ostertag has personally photographed interior elements, which were then graphically enhanced, resulting in art prints that mesmerize viewers with distinct depth.

To add softness, sensuality, and a touch of sexiness to the linear prints, the designer pairs them with opulent, flowing ruffles. A palette of cream, orange, mint, silver, green, and petrol captures the energizing spirit of the night, skillfully combined with luxurious materials such as faux leather, silk, and fine knits. The creations—ranging from cocktail and evening dresses to tailored suits and flowing kaftans—radiate a rare balance between luxury and everyday wearability.

INSOMNIA serves as an invitation to celebrate the night, intertwining a longing for freedom and community while encapsulating the essence of nightlife in each piece. Intricate embroideries, pearls, and crystals intertwine in the designs, while golden rings and cut-out moments exude a captivating allure, lending the collection an endless mystique and sexiness.

Marcel Ostertag remains steadfast in his vision: to create fashion that transcends time and remains wearable, yet is undeniably extraordinary. His timeless glamour illuminates the night, finding a place in the wardrobes of those he inspires.

“Fashion is more than a profession to me. It’s a lifelong mission,” the designer expresses. This passion for his art drives INSOMNIA to be a collection that continues to resonate—until the sun sets once more.
