The core of dressage riding relies on invisible, harmonious communication between the rider’s aids and the horse’s body. These synchronized and fluid rhythms are reflected in the creative process of emerging designer Christopher Markquart (@christopher.allyn) – who has translated the equine sport into the delicate art of garment construction, tailoring and leatherwork. Markquart, a Chippewa Valley-born designer and 2026 graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York City, became one of two dozen emerging designers from his class to showcase their work in the school’s annual BFA runway this spring and appear in Vogue magazine. Yet, his story and latest collection, “The Dressage Habit,” extends beyond the concrete jungle of New York – and to the quiet pastures of the Chippewa Valley. Those familiar landscapes are where Markquart and his family grew up riding horses, watching mother Michelle Markquart train and compete in dressage riding. Through the observation of his mother’s deep-seated connection with her equine partners, Christopher’s garments are rooted in a design ethos which mirrors that of dressage: rigorous attention to detail, deliberate movement, avant-garde silhouettes and unconventional material exploration. Throughout the years-long development of those clothing pieces at Parsons, Christopher incorporates several specific elements of the equestrian sport to his collection. A leather vest features cuts, shapes and forms that remain highly representative of the sport’s angular movements; he referenced many details of his mother’s own saddle and show clothes to achieve these designs. Black pants, while clean and polished from afar, feature a subtle bump-out behind the knee designed to mimic the hock (back leg) of a horse. Since Christopher’s showcase of The Dressage Habit at the Parsons 2026 BFA runway, the collection has now been shared and seen through Vogue and Women’s Wear Daily – two internationally-acclaimed fashion publications which reported on the student showcase.
