ROTATE Spring/Summer 2026 / SS26 at Copenhagen Fashion Week

ROTATE SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026 collection captures the mood of a high-summer reverie, a season suspended in golden light, where femininity takes center stage through fluid fabrics, daring silhouettes, and a palette kissed by the sun. With this collection, ROTATE steps into its most feminine chapter yet, where softness becomes an expression of strength.

Details of ROTATE SS26 / Spring/Summer 2026, Rooted in subtle nods to the ’70s, the collection evokes a warm, sun-drenched nostalgia that blends the era’s spirit with the brand’s signature modern refinement. Fluidity defines the silhouettes: capes frame the face, sheer gowns skim the floor, silk utility bodysuits hug the body, and low collars meet soft suedes and denims. Signature dresses take on fresh shapes: from slip styles and sculptural column silhouettes to scarf-tied designs that float effortlessly in the breeze. Linen tailoring debuts with sharp sophistication in dresses and suiting, redefining the summer wardrobe for warm days and lingering evenings. Drapery becomes a tactile dialogue: chiffon and satin pieces flow with ease, while gusseted details inject a subtle architecture, marrying softness with form.

Inspired by the sun’s late afternoon glow, the collection’s palette shifts between warm neutrals – taupe, softened whites, greys – and delicate pastels of faded peach, soft yellow, light blues, all accented with subtle golden highlights. Fabrics are chosen to evoke airiness: luxurious satins, organic cottons, and delicate chiffons that embody the season’s fluid energy.

Making their debut, ROTATE’s upcoming shoe range steps into the spotlight with animal-print slingbacks, soft yellow and red accents, and iconic heels with sculptural flower detailing. Hinting upcoming collaborations, the show will also include statement shades with elevated edge and unapologetic style by CHIMI, and LOVE STORIES upcoming collaboration in romantic yet rebellious lingerie. The Good Statement adds to final touches with metal belts, bold bracelets and playful necklaces.

Evoking the freshness of a summer dew, models wear makeup by CAIA, showcasing the recently launched collaboration with ROTATE during CPHFW. The look is radiant yet natural: glowy skin, brightened eyes, and soft tinted lips. Cim Mahony’s hair styling will complete the mood with DYSON: relaxed, flowing, and effortlessly chic.

As part of the CAIA x ROTATE collaboration, Snapchat will activate outside the ROTATE show venue with a pop-up café and interactive AR Mirror experience. This partnership marks Snapchat’s first-ever Nordic brand campaign during Copenhagen Fashion Week, featuring over 180 digital out-of-home screens citywide and a bespoke AR lens inspired by the collaboration. Bridging fashion, beauty, and tech, the activation invites guests to explore how augmented reality can transform self-expression, styling, and the runway experience.
