Baum und Pferdgarten’s Spring Summer 2026 collection, Notes from the Grandstand, gallops into the season with a refined take on contrast. Inspired by the world of the Derby, the collection draws from the vivid uniforms of jockeys, the movement of the racetrack, and the elegance of guests dressed to be seen. It’s a playful study of opposites, where sporting utility meets high-society glamour.

Designed by Creative Directors Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, the collection blends visual codes from both worlds. They were drawn to the sharp colour-blocking and purpose-driven silhouettes worn by jockeys — bold, functional, and unmistakable. Equally captivating were the guests’ extravagant outfits, designed not just for the occasion but to be admired from every angle. These visual extremes offered a rich foundation for a collection rooted in character and contrast.

Striped nylon nods to the uniforms of jockeys, while checks and bold colour contrasts add a feeling of movement. Frilled details on sporty outerwear introduce a feminine tension, subtly referencing classic equestrian attire.

Dropped waist dresses and softly draped blouses introduce a graceful fluidity, while powder pink hues and faux suede accessories add a touch of composed drama. Horse rosette details and vintage lace pay homage to tradition, as leopard prints and faux leather bring a fresh, modern edge.

Notes from the Grandstand captures the beauty of intentional contrast — where dressing up is always a part of the show, whether from the saddle or the seat.
