The glitzy, glamourous and sharp dressed strutted their stuff for the Fashion on the Field contest at the Nelson Harness Racing Club’s annual summer meeting at Richmond Park on Sunday.
The winners were split into four categories including young racegoer, best millinery, best dressed and best suited.
Azra Edmonds won the young racegoer category with his suave dress shirt and waistcoat, with Ava Allsopp coming in second place.
Best dressed was won by Sarah Lindup with her red flower dress and matching fascinator, with Collette Gordon achieving runner-up.
Jewel Relatado was the sole-winner of best millinery.
In his fourth time entering Fashion on the Field, Nelsonian Jono Leach, took out the best suited category with his three piece suit, which was inspired by his mother-in-law, Julie Penman who has a keen eye for design and fashion.
“I was surprised because I thought one of the ones who missed out was looking pretty dapper and was probably going to take it out,” he says.
“The mother-in-law is the inspiration for [the outfit] she comes up with the look, she’s really interested in design and fashion.
“My wife [Amelia Boland-Leach] who’s also a designer, helps set everything up as well.”
