Mads Emil Grove Møller

Mads Emil doesn’t just observe fashion, he shapes it. The Copenhagen-born stylist, editor, and cultural consultant brings over a decade of experience across fashion media and CIFF to every project. Known for his thoughtful presence and understated sophistication, he turns the everyday into artful moments, blending editorial precision with a quietly confident point of view. With a vision that cultivates curiosity and a style rooted in personal expression, Mads Emil proves that true elegance isn’t just what a man wears, it’s how he moves through the world.

Mads Emil’s approach to style is rooted in his lifelong love of music, which first drew him into fashion. Starting as a DJ in his youth, he learned that what he wore could make as much of a statement as the music he played. Today, his refined yet effortless aesthetic is expressed in carefully curated fits where shoes often serve as the starting point and the foundation of every look.

Mads Emil draws inspiration by walking through his favorite Copenhagen haunts: from the iconic Sound Station to Café Kismet and the tranquil King’s Garden. These everyday moments in the city inform his style, blending classic, street, and contemporary elements into a cohesive personal narrative. “Observing the world is how I gather ideas for styling, finding details that spark new ways to express myself.”

Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars Creative directors, ROTATE

ROTATE’s Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars don’t just design clothes, they define an attitude. As the creative visionaries behind the new-to-Level brand, they distill Copenhagen’s playful sophistication into bold silhouettes, radiant energy, and unapologetic femininity.

Together, they personify modern Danish style, where confidence meets cool, and every piece is made to move, turn heads, and spark conversation.

They met as fashion editors in Copenhagen, spotting a gap in the market that no one else seemed to notice. Their vision? Affordable, sexy, and unmistakably bold, a brand that stands out without ever trying too hard.

Recharging happens outside the office. They sit plein air at small local cafés, watching streets come alive. People-watching, observing movement, and catching the unexpected, this is where inspiration strikes. Copenhagen, with its layered personalities and effortless style, becomes their living moodboard.

And if they were shoes? One, a light, airy sandal; the other, a shiny, confident pump. Every choice is a reflection of personality, energy, and the city they call home.
