Reel Racing

Last Wednesday Night was the final for the Racing For Change competition, 'Reinventing the Racing Silks.' I designed a collection of twelve silks (front, back and caps) inspired by fruit machines.  After pitching my idea to a panel of judges, the Winner was announced. I WON ! Which was totally overwhelming, my designs are now going to be manufactured for the first race at Ascot on July 9th. It'll be the first time the racing silks have changed for over 250 years !

The media coverage has been pretty exciting with my designs popping up all over the place, including todays Racing Post, with a picture of me chatting to Sir Peter O'Sullevan. Peter was a lovely chap, his particular favourite was the lemon.
