Look 05 - Horse Hair Dress from “The Dressage Habit”

Made from a combination of human and horse hair along with a silk satin to replicate the visual idea of a “show coat” 

Look 05 Model: @lyssaanixx 

———
The Dressage Habit is designed to reveal pathways of connection between the horse and rider. 

Drawing upon distant yet familiar relations by studying a range of historical and modern horsemanship, the collection is designed to have a sense of familiarity or nostalgia. The project as a whole could be described as a study of relationships, not only between horse and rider but amongst peers, loved ones and collaborators throughout the duration of the collection’s completion.

Thank you to all of my friends, family and professors for their support through this journey.

Introducing Christopher Markquart (Parsons ‘26), one of the 20 emerging designers showcasing their work in the ‘26 BFA runway!

The Dressage Habit is designed to reveal pathways of connection between the horse and rider. Drawing upon distant yet familiar relations by studying a range of historical and modern horsemanship, the collection is designed to have a sense of familiarity or nostalgia. By observing his mother and other individuals’ relationship to their equine partners Christopher endeavors to draw out the often unseen nuances of these inter-species relationships. He approaches the collection with craftsmanship, intention and obsessive details at the heart of his design philosophy; these inspirations and practices result in the production of unique detailing, silhouette, and material applications.

@christopher.allyn

Our designers were selected on a merit based application process by the following industry judges: @wenjuelu @jacob_olmedo @marissapetteruti @the.peterdo @anjuhlow2
