EQUESTRIAN FEAST

Step back tigers, rats and you other animals in the Chinese Zodiac; it’s time for the horse

to take the spotlight this time. Looking ahead to Pre-Fall, it seems that some of our favorite

Design Houses couldn’t agree more.

Yeah, probably by know you’re saying: equestrian is always in style – and you’re probably right

in real life but the high-fashion circles never regarded it as a trend to-look-forward.

That’s just not the case this year – Alexander Wang, Chanel and Altuzarra (not really the names

that slip to your mind when it comes co equestrian fashion-right?!) successfully made

the transition from hyper-literal to avant-garde.

The new collections prove the allure of referential equestrian style –through the subtle incorporation

of buttery leather, tweed, tartan and gigantic riding boots into our daily ruts.

It calls for a celebration – in the Year of the Horse our wardrobes are more likely to look like

fashion statements rather than riding jokes.
