For the first time in its 313-year history, Ascot Racecourse announced the appointment of a creative director this year.
British fashion designer Daniel Fletcher was responsible for creating the annual Lookbook and Millinery Collective in 2024, which set the style tone for the year and often inspired racegoers’ outfits.
He is known for his classic silhouettes and modern gender-fluid clothing; Their Spring/Summer 2023 collection included corset designs for both men and women.
