There’s a tenderness at the heart of Rave Rvw’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection — but don’t mistake it for fragility. Blommornas Makt (Power of Flowers), unveiled at Copenhagen Fashion Week in the hallowed halls of the former church Nikolaj Kunsthal, channels a quiet kind of resistance: nostalgic, feminine, radical. It’s a floral uprising dressed in sculptural suiting, heat-pressed linens, and unapologetic softness.
For co-founder and designer Josephine Bergqvist, this collection didn’t begin with a moodboard — it began with memory. “I always thought RR is like Mah-Jong but at another time,” she says, referencing the Swedish feminist collective that shook up the fashion system in the 1960s. “Their work was quite political… They wanted to make fashion more feminist and more sustainable.”
That lineage pulses through Blommornas Makt, a collection rooted in counterculture, Swedish heritage, and the flower as symbol — not in the aesthetic sense, but as a deeply charged historical marker. Think less botanical motif, more visual protest.
The garments are built on the bones of tradition. Volendamse klederdracht—Dutch flower festival attire—echoes through strong-shouldered jackets, printed aprons, floral skirts, and headpieces. Tailoring meets play in deconstructed silhouettes: reinforced hips and shoulders, pantie shapes with boning, sheer overlays that shimmer like movement caught mid-thought.
Deadstock fabrics and vintage home textiles are reworked with signature Rave Rvw flair: wrinkled checks, floral ribbed cotton, sheer voiles, gingham, and heat-pressed bed linens reborn as structured suiting. A standout? A pink floral blazer with a matching pencil skirt, sharp in shape but tender in tone — ceremonial, yet completely wearable.

The runway itself unfolded like theatre. Backed by the ethereal live vocals of Danish artist FINE, models moved through stained glass and soft light in looks that balanced softness with grit. Footwear — a continued collaboration with PUMA — grounded the collection in the now. Customized H-Streets and Speedcat Ballets added an urban contrast to the delicacy of the garments.
But it’s the cultural depth of the collection that lingers. Blommornas Makt is less about fashion and more about resistance through beauty. It proposes a new kind of power: one that is intimate, considered, and steeped in heritage. One that doesn’t shout, but resonates.
Returning to Copenhagen Fashion Week feels right for Rave Rvw — a space where sustainability, emotion, and experimentation aren’t niche, but necessary. With its expanding global reach and sharp creative integrity, the platform mirrors what the brand stands for: creating fashion that honors the past while demanding a future that is softer, stronger, and radically aware.
The full collection is now available for pre-order. Selected PUMA collaboration pieces will drop later in the season.
