Focus on Fashion – Ascot Style Guide 2015

The launch of this year’s highly anticipated Royal Ascot Style Guide at the flagship Bond Street store of renowned British retailer Fenwick was on Tuesday.

Martha Ward, the British stylist and Royal Ascot TV Fashion presenter, introduced her special curation of womenswear outfits styled from the Spring/Summer collections of celebrated British and international designers from Fenwick, including several looks from this year’s official Royal Ascot Style Guide.

The Royal Ascot Style Guide is designed to help race-goers dress appropriately for the highly anticipated iconic British summer-time event. Dressing according to the Royal Ascot dress code is an integral part of the event and an important part of the Royal Ascot experience.

Fenwick is a destination store for Royal Ascot customers and all of the outfits featured in the show will be available to buy in store.
