A Bucolic Equestrian Reverie at SIRIVANNAVARI AW 2025/26

 

A heritage kissed with rebel love, a story, a tale untold – the SIRIVANNAVARI Autumn-Winter 2025/26 collection unveils a poetic ode to horsemanship. Under the gilded chandeliers of the Crillon Hotel’s grand ballroom, HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya, Founder & Creative Director, conjures a vision drawn from the noble world of equestrianism, a convergence of discipline and elegance. Bridles, bits, and saddles transcend their utilitarian roots, reborn as emblems of couture sophistication.

 

Re-enchantment as a paradigm, a profound shift calling us to rediscover the magic that lies hidden in the ordinary. SIRIVANNAVARI reframes the narrative of the equestrian codes through the lens of possibility, magic, and wonder – drawing inspiration from the past and the future. The riding jacket is reborn with a cinematic aura, sublimated with a high-waisted skirt. Corsetry dresses channel romanticism, wrapping the body in an armor-like embrace. Midnight Blue, Obsidian Black, and Noble Burgundy contrast solemnly against Stark Ivory and Shimmering Silver, a palette conjuring the glow of moonlight over polished saddles and the subtle dominance of the equestrian aristocracy.

 

For men, heritage is redefined with a rebellious spirit. Tailored trenches graze the ground gracefully while slim-cut jodhpurs stride forth with a contemporary touch. Double-breasted blazers, wool ponchos, and cashmere jackets embrace refinement punctuated by bridle-inspired closures and saddle-shaped fastenings. SIRIVANNAVARI’s devotion to craftsmanship reaches its apotheosis in a silk-cotton shirt adorned with a hand-drawn horse sketch by the creative director herself—an intimate stroke of poetry upon the fabric. A mad crush. Accessories complete the tale. Knee-high leather riding boots stride with purpose. Jewelry becomes a language of its own—horse bits, reins, stirrups, and bridle chains metamorphosed into sculptural metalwork, sterling silver embracing leather in an eternal duet.  

 

A rider’s heart, a horse’s soul – together, they make one, make whole. A bond unbroken – SIRIVANNAVARI AW25-26 reimagined her equestrian heritage with a modern sensibility through every detail. Each piece is a promise, a personal statement, strong and refined.
