“I thought the prints were amazing, I’m obviously from an equestrian background, and I thought [the collection] was cut beautifully, elegant, and sophisticated yet sexy,” said supermodel Jodie Kidd of the collection.
Presented to the symphonies of Celtic music, Costelloe stayed true to his roots, incorporating heavy Magees of Ireland and Harris Tweed of Scotland – weaving Celtic accents into the collection.
Irish designer Paul Costelloe gave a lesson in elevating country wear with his autumn/winter 2025 collection at London Fashion Week.
As with his last collection, Costelloe played with loud prints, such as minidresses and evening gowns emblazoned with vintage photographs of showjumping and dressage.
What was once an unglamorous aesthetic, equestrian accents have become an elegant and refined sartorial choice – with jodhpurs, riding boots and suspenders bumping back up the style charts, following Gucci’s equestrian-inspired autumn/winter 2024 show.
