Paul Costelloe Dressage – where equestrian discipline meets runway drama, crafting a spectacle of galloping glamour.
The Paul Costelloe Dressage show at London Fashion Week delivered a masterclass in equestrian elegance. Designers translated the precision of dressage into fabric and form. Costelloe’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, Paul Costelloe Dressage, captured the spirit of the equestrian world with a refined sense of power and grace.
Runway Radiance: The Collection’s Narrative
Chestnut browns, amber yellows, as well as winter creams swept down the runway. These echoed the hues of a crisp autumn morning in the stables. Volume and space defined key elements, reminiscent of the sweeping movements of a dressage horse. Structured silhouettes, flowing lines, as well as fabrics moved with a quiet strength.
Hair as Art: Cos Sakkas’ Equestrian Inspiration
Cos Sakkas, the visionary behind TONI&GUY‘s creative direction, sculpted hair into a symphony of equestrian chic. Sleek, disciplined ponytails mirrored the precision of a dressage routine. Intricate micro-French braids, cascading down the back, added a touch of feminine detail, like the delicate plaits in a show horse’s mane. A sculptural bonding wrap detail provided a striking focal point at the nape, a nod to the strength and structure inherent in both the collection and the sport. The hair, like the clothes, studied controlled elegance, a fusion of power and grace. Costelloe and Sakkas proved that equestrian inspiration can be both timeless and utterly modern, delivering a show that was a true spectacle of galloping glamour.
