in conversation with Bathsheba
- For this drop, we met with the talented singer-songwriter, Bathsheba, for a conversation about fashion, music, art, creativity, and life in Copenhagen.
- We followed her for a day in her life around the city, showing us her favourite spots while dressed in the new AW26 Drop.
- Read the full interview and explore the latest styles in this section.
- When do you feel the most creative? I feel most creative when I’ve had a break from being creative. I know that sounds kind of odd, but I think it’s during those breaks that I learn to be the most creative. Taking time away gives me perspective, which makes me feel even more inspired when I come back to it.
- How does your personality come through in your music? My personality really shines through in my music and lyrics. My music is a reflection of who I am, and all the experiences I write about in my songs come from my own life. It’s just very personal to me, if you can put it that way.
- If you weren’t a musician, what would you be? I’ve asked myself that question so many times. I’m kind of a huge history geek. I think I’d study history or become an archaeologist—and hopefully find Cleopatra’s tomb. I’d absolutely love to be the one to discover that. Or maybe study psychiatry. I’d also love to work with helping people in some way.
- Is there anything exciting coming up in your music career? I think the future is really exciting for me when it comes to my music. I have some big changes coming, and right now, I’m really in my creative era. So there are a lot of exciting new things and big changes coming my way soon.
- What does fashion mean to you? I think it goes without saying that when I’m on stage, whatever I wear is really important to me. The visual identity surrounding an artist is such an important part of it. I love being able to express myself through different outfits and looks. It just makes me happy.
- How would you describe your style? I’d describe my style as streetwear, but also a little bit corporate. I love baggy jeans, but lately I’ve also been into tight jeans. It’s a good mix. My style is definitely very personal and, at times, very, very casual.
- Who is your style icon and why? I’m obsessed with a girl called Sierra Rena. She’s just a 10 out of 10. She’s so good with colours, different textures, and sculptural pieces. She’s incredibly talented and has inspired a lot of my looks recently because she’s completely fearless. I think that’s one of the things fashion can give you—the freedom to be fearless. And I love that she embraces that.
- What do you think makes Copenhagen style different from other cities? Maybe layering, because of the climate we have here in Denmark. Sometimes it gets really cold, so I think we’ve become really good at layering. I don’t know if it’s necessarily unique to Copenhagen, but I think people here do it really well.
- What’s your favourite piece from this drop? It’s the really thick sweater with a double zip and a hood. I love anything with a hood. It’s made from such a nice, heavy-quality material, and I really love it.
- What is your three go-to places in Copenhagen? One of them is obviously Den Hirschsprungske Samling. It’s such a beautiful museum. I also love the canal tours. I know that sounds a bit silly because it’s very touristy, but I love a good canal tour. And then there’s this bakery called Sinne Gas Bakery, where they make brunsviger, which is a traditional Danish pastry. It’s really soft, gooey, and delicious. So I think those would be my top three places in Copenhagen.
- What does art mean to you? Art means a lot to me. I love the history surrounding it. I think the fact that I can go and look at a painting at Den Hirschsprungske Samling that some beautiful woman painted in the 1800s, and that we can still look at it today, is amazing.
- What do you find so inspiring about history? History is a part of all of us. You can’t really escape your history, and I think some of the greatest lessons we can learn come from it. But I also find it so inspiring to dive into the life of someone who randomly lived 200 years ago. You can read their old notebooks, look at a painting they made, and suddenly get this glimpse into their world. I just think that’s insane. I think history can be an escape from reality sometimes, and that’s something we really need in the world we live in today.
- Where do you go when you need to be yourself? When I need to be on my own and have some space to myself, I go to Kastellet, which is such a beautiful area in Copenhagen. You can walk along the old star-shaped fortress, which used to be a military site. I love that place. I preferably go in the late evening, when it’s quiet and you’re more or less on your own. It’s perfect and really beautiful.
”My favorite area in Copenhagen is without a doubt Nørrebro. There's so much diversity, good food, good vintage shops, and so many nice people. Nørrebro is just... it has my heart.”
