In celebration of the annual Cheltenham Festival and Horse Race in Gloucestershire, UK, designer Emma Sandham-King created a stunning suit made from over 59 feet of luxurious Harris Tweed.

Ahead of Cheltenham Festival this week we unveiled the world’s first Tweed suit for veteran racing horse Morestead with a little help from 20-time champion and racing royalty Sir Anthony McCoy. The suit made from 18 metres of Harris Tweed was designed by former Alexander McQueen apprentice Emma Sandham-King.
