The inspiration for the collection comes from the summer of 2024, when sports dominated the scene, infiltrating every aspect of life. People left their offices to follow the games, and this vibrant energy is encapsulated in the collection.
Designed by our creative directors Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, ”Office Olympics” reflects their commitment to merging the elegance of corporate wear with the dynamism of athletic aesthetics. The collection captures the spirit of Baum und Pferdgarten, bringing together distinct design elements that ensure both comfort and chic appeal.
“Office Olympics is all about merging the elegance of corporate wear with the dynamism of athletic aesthetics, creating a collection that is both functional and fashionable. We wanted to encapsulate the energy and excitement of the sports world and bring it into the office environment,”
- Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, Creative Directors.
The collection introduces a versatile range of pieces that combine sporty elements with feminine details. Football-inspired shirts, sporty logos, and stripes are beautifully contrasted with light dresses and skirts, frills, and sequined pieces together with traditional office attire such as polo shirts, blazers, and cardigans, creating a harmonious blend of styles.
The collection’s colour palette features refreshing pastel colours including light purple, blue, and green tones, together with brown and bold red accents and vibrant flower prints adding a lively touch, evoking a sense of optimism.
”Office Olympics” showcases tailored blazers, trousers, and skirts offering flexibility and comfort perfect for navigating a busy workday. The playful sporty elements add a modern edge to traditional office wear creating a versatile mix-and-match of separates, where pencil skirts are matched with sporty oversized T-shirts, encouraging personal creativity.
The Office Olympics collection was presented for the first time on August 7 during Copenhagen Fashion Week. Taking place at Østerbro Stadium, the event was a unique collaboration with the iconic Copenhagen football club B.93 and their women’s team.
The runway cast included a mix of models and friends of the house, some of whom have walked for Baum und Pferdgarten before, along with new faces. Makeup was provided by M.A.C. Cosmetics Nordics, and hair was styled by Oribe, ensuring that the models embodied the perfect blend of sophistication and sportiness.
A special T-shirt, inspired by classic football shirts and the collaboration with B.93, was showcased on the runway. This exclusive piece will be available for immediate purchase on Baum und Pferdgarten’s webshop and at the Copenhagen Flagship Store shortly after the show.
