Baum und Pferdgarten Copenhagen Fall 2026

Baum und Pferdgarten’s creative directors Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave turned to the skies for inspiration for their fall 2026 collection, entitled Airborne. Never ones to shy away from a theme, the design duo turned the Østerbro athletics stadium into a makeshift airport runway, opening the show with a performance from a local girls’ choir, all wearing T-shirts printed with the words “Good girls fly to heaven, BP girls fly backstage.” The designers were particularly influenced by the wardrobe of American pilot Amelia Earhart, and the contrast, as Hestehave put it in a preview, between her “mechanic workwear” and the “more sophisticated” looks she would wear for high society dinners and parties during the 1930s. The masculine side of Earhart’s wardrobe could be seen in the faux leather aviator jackets and matching trousers, utilitarian boiler suits, and the oversized herringbone outerwear. The more feminine side was found in the black velvet maxi dress, floral prints and faux fur collars.
