Marking the opening day of Copenhagen Fashion Week on August 4, CAIA Cosmetics and ROTATE are launching a capsule collection that connects the two labels through design and product innovation. The collaboration introduces several limited items, including a fragrance, lip liners, lip treatment, and a satin bag. Each piece reflects the sensibilities of both brands, grounded in Scandinavian aesthetics and shaped by runway references.

CAIA Cosmetics reworked its signature items with a focus on ROTATE’s visual direction. The fragrance stands out with a composition that builds from pink pepper and grapefruit into tobacco and cedarwood, combining warmth with sharp contrast. The formula adds a smoky dimension that anchors the scent and separates it from more conventional summer perfumes.

The Glaze Lip Treatments follow CAIA’s original formula but shift toward a visual and sensory upgrade aligned with the capsule. The product uses peptides and hyaluronic acid to nourish and smooth the lips. The texture remains dense enough to wear alone or under liner, and the application builds toward a visibly plump effect.
Two new lip liners accompany the capsule: “The Pink” and “The Brown.” Both shades offer high-pigment color and 12-hour wear. The liners were designed to support both precision and flexibility, matching the bolder aesthetic ROTATE often brings to its collections. The formulation supports detailed shaping without dragging or feathering.
The ROTATE Bag introduces an accessory piece to the capsule, made in satin and embossed with the brand’s recognizable 3D floral motif. Designed to carry the full capsule or double as a standalone statement item, the bag adds another texture to the collaboration. The print references ROTATE’s past runway signatures, grounding the new beauty capsule in familiar codes.
To mark the collaboration, CAIA Cosmetics will take over ROTATE’s flagship location in Copenhagen with a pop-up space dedicated to the capsule. In addition to the new release, the space will also carry a curated range of CAIA’s bestselling products. The in-store activation introduces a new audience to the brand through direct access and physical presentation.
CAIA Cosmetics will also appear in ROTATE’s Spring Summer 2026 show. Makeup artist Nicci Welsh will lead the beauty direction for the runway, applying the capsule to complete the looks. This event marks CAIA’s debut in a ROTATE show, expanding the collaboration from product to presentation.
The limited-edition collection goes live on CAIA’s website starting August 4, aligning with the launch of Copenhagen Fashion Week.
