About In/Rotation
In/Rotation is a buy, sell, trade secondhand fashion store based in Berlin. We aim to make secondhand shopping more appealing than buying brand new by offering a highly curated selection of styles, sizes and price tags, from fast fashion through to high end designers, at more affordable prices.

How to apply
Please email hello@in-rotation.com with your CV and visa/residency status. We do not require a cover letter but we ask all applicants to:
• List one of their favourite brands or designers from each of the below categories and why you like them. Please do not submit whole essays - just a few sentences for each category is enough:
• High end designer
• Independent designer
• One of Streetwear/Sportswear/Fast fashion
• Submit a couple of images of clothes or outfits you like from each brand/designer that you list
We are looking to gauge how passionate you are about fashion. Use your own words - do not copy from ChatGPT or Wikipedia, we will be able to tell. We encourage applicants to choose a wide variety of styles instead of designers/brands with a similar aesthetic for each category, to display an appreciation for diversity of styles.
Applications close when we find the right people.
Good luck!
