In 2018, in collaboration with the Copenhagen concept store Birger Christianen, Stylists, influencers, and creative directors Jeanette Maden and Thora Valdimarsdottir, Rotate was created. The label came as a response from the creative director duo’s reflections on gaps in their closets, thus the brand focuses on bold and vibrant party wear that doubles as everyday must haves. Since Rotate’s findings, the brand has become synonymous with covetable evening what, big sleeves, and daring hemlines. The brand is currently available in more than 40 countries in leading retailers such as Net-a-Porter, Selfridges, Browns, Nordstrom, and MyTheresa.
