As the Official Luxury Fashion Partner of The Jockey Club, Holland Cooper presents ‘Racing Legends’ – a powerful editorial portrait series celebrating the people who define British racing.
To mark the partnership and the brand’s continued relationship with the sport, Jade Holland Cooper invited racing legends to the brand’s new headquarters, capturing them in an unexpected editorial light. Shot in the leadup to the Cheltenham Festival, the series captures each subject away from the racecourse, revealing character, authority, and individuality.
The portraits culminate in an iconic group image where generations and disciplines rub shoulders: legendary jockeys Ruby Walsh, Harry Cobden, Daryl Jacob, Richard Johnson, Nico de Boinville and Jonjo O’Neill, alongside leading sports broadcasters Alice Plunkett, Aly Vance, Luke Harvey and Ed Chamberlin, and the youngest Shetland Pony-winning star, Olivia Eglise - Freud - completing a modern portrait of the sport.
Speaking on the series, founder Jade Holland Cooper says: “With Holland Cooper’s headquarters rooted in Cheltenham, I will always have an affinity with National Hunt racing and the Cheltenham Festival. Racing Legends cements our relationship with the people at the heart of the sport and with The Jockey Club, while continuing our tradition of capturing distinctive personalities in Britishmade tailoring.”
Long synonymous with Festival style, Holland Cooper moves beyond fashion to honour racing’s iconic characters - capturing the strength of character that unites them, bringing British racing to life beyond the racecourse.
