Fashion at Royal Ascot

Three Centuries of Thoroughbred Style 

by James Sherwood and Foreword  The Duke of Devonshire

Royal Ascot unites thoroughbred fashion with some of the greatest horse racing on the international calendar.
For the first time in its history Ascot has released its formidable archive to present a history of elegance as seen through the prism of this unique event – from millinery to morning dress.

Illustrated throughout with rare archival imagery alongside contemporary photography, this is the ultimate record of the styles and personalities that have defined Ascot as the most elegant of sporting occasions.

For more than two decades, he was a fashion and style critic for the Independent on Sunday, The Financial Times and the International Herald Tribune. He is the author of Savile Row: 
The Master Tailors of British Bespoke.
