Mare Machines


Mare Machines is the name of my final major project, what I have been working on recently and have a hell of a lot of work to do until I reach the end, but it will all be worth it.

“Humans are enslaved like horses and horses are made into machines”
- Anna Sewell, Black Beauty.

My collection is based around this quote, essentially meaning that people have turned into slaves to society because they choose to conform to what is considered acceptable and the norm and because of which are slaves much like what horses are to a certain extent. The silhouette is inspired by 19th century riding wear and I want to combine this with modern day endurance riding. Endurance riding is Long distance riding starting from 10K rides all the way up to 160K rides, so a lot of work is need to get you to this level. By incorporating aspects from the endurance riding I want my collection to be comfortable, wearable and juxtaposed tweeds with flourecents

I want to create a high fashion collection for A/W RTW. This will be aimed at a successful business women/ celebrities such as Helena Bonham Carter.
