Class of 1999: Baum und Pferdgarten

Bringing whimsy into wearable fashion has been a trademark of the Danish brand Baum und Pferdgarten founded by Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave in 1999. The designers became kindred fashion spirits while studying at KADK (then Danmarks Designskole) and have stuck together ever since. Sold in over 20 countries, their distinct style plays with bold print, elegant contrasts and an affinity for navy blue and leopard – always adding a healthy dose of humor to their cool Scandinavian look.
