What to know about Baum und Pferdgarten
Prints and colour, not quiet neutrals
Despite the Copenhagen address, the house works in graphic prints, colour-blocking and draping, cut with menswear-derived tailoring rather than plain Scandinavian minimalism.
Founders still hold the pencil
Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave have designed every collection since 1999 and still show each season at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Rescued once, funded again
The label went bankrupt in 2009 and was bought by the Bruuns Bazaar founders; in 2024 investor Verdane took 51% to push e-commerce and international wholesale.

Danish ready-to-wear label founded in Copenhagen in 1999 by Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, who still design the collections. The house pairs graphic prints, colour-blocking and feminine draping with menswear-derived tailoring, and shows each season at Copenhagen Fashion Week. It went bankrupt in 2009 and was rescued by Bruuns Bazaar founders Teis and Bjorn Bruun; Teis Bruun was CEO for nine years until January 2026; Morten Linnet took over in September 2026. In 2019 Nordic growth investor Verdane took a controlling 51% stake alongside the founders to expand e-commerce and international wholesale.
