Creative director Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt has steered By Malene Birger toward a polished and feminine direction in the resort 2027 collection. She described the line as a little bit retro, focusing on classic shapes updated with sensual details.
A standout piece is a black pantsuit featuring slim-cut trousers paired with a collarless jacket edged in black and white braid. Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt told the design team that she would want to be that jacket if she were one. The collection emphasizes sensory appeal through elements like pearl-embedded knit capes and skirts. Doe-patterned pony hair appears on coats and a perky mini worn with a crisp pink shirt, while a cardigan incorporates felted appliques inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe flower studies. Fringe trims add movement to dresses with cape-front and low-cut backs. A tassel-trimmed A-line trench draws from an Italian interior reference alongside Poiret influences. The overall line prioritizes smart dressing combined with ease.
