DiscoveryLAB presents: CHRISTOPH RITTER STUDIO

‘THE LADDER’ is the Autumn/Winter 2022 collection of Austrian born and London based designer CHRISTOPH RITTER STUDIO. 
For designer Christoph Ritter, Autumn/Winter 2022 is an exploration of futurism, intercultural allyship and virtual
 self-idealisation. Ritter designs for eco-conscious club kids and redefines power dressing. The motivation of his creations is 
sustainability, radical innovation with climactic glamour. Using digital abstraction, pieces are created to elevate and empower the wearer to reach their full potential of self-expression. 

Directed by Ben Cole and Art Directed by Magda Kaczmarska, the fashion film showcases the vast spectrum of London’s club culture. Shot in Ritter’s design studio, 
reinvented as a club, it features artists, models and real-life club kids. It is a brutally honest representation of Ritter’s experience of the city’s nightlife scene. 

At the core of the collection are printed Lycra staples including shapewear, catsuits and bodycon dresses made of textiles, which are derived from recycled plastic bottles and fishing nets ‘harvested’ from the oceans. The pieces are designed to 
provide vibrant sex appeal, high performance and comfort. The eclectic prints are compositions of colours and textures found in nature, cultural landmarks and digital fantasies. 

Alongside the IRL collection, key pieces will be launched as fashion NFTs. In partnership with the digital creator platform ‘Rally’, CHRISTOPH RITTER STUDIO is introducing its sustainable clubwear into the METAVERSE. Highlights such as balaclavas and gowns will be made available as fully 3D rendered digital garments entering a new era of fashion and WEB3.
