Mare Machines

As you probably already know i am in the middle of making my final collection "Mare Machines

In my collection I want to juxtapose the idea of the classical 19^th century riding habit with modern day endurance riding. I am creating a high fashion 6-piece collection. The silhouette is mostly inspired by the Victorian era however I still want to keep the practicalities and functionalities of Modern day riding wear. Also incorporating OS maps and the bright colours they use through tack and safety wear in endurance riding. I want to use a variety of tweeds, leather and semi-plain cloth’s to create excitement by mixing pattern and texture.  Creating a sharp, chic and confident look. 

I have been toiling like a maddy so i would just like to give you a sneak peak of what i have been up to.
