Tara Belmont x Laura Tomlinson collaboration encapsulate a chic, bold yet elegant aesthetic realised through the bold silhouettes, while remaining practical to optimise performance. The Bechtolsheimer collaboration with Tara J Belmont is a sustainable and fashionable collection that riders can wear and achieve success through peak performance in the arena, while also being wearable in a more casual setting.
Unifying tradition and modernity, we ensure that Laura’s heritage is not abolished but instead, utilised as a foundation to dictate new ideals with a modern twist. Muse and Olympic rider Laura Tomlinson nee Bechtolsheimer, encapsulates these ideals with her approach to dressage as well as horsemanship within the sport. With Laura’s team being split between two yards, it has been extremely important to unify through design, Dr. Wilfred and Ursula Bechtolsheimers vision and tradition, with Lauras modern approach. Through this fusion, we explore Laura’s journey of building her own and explore how she has established a strong foundation through her history within this next chapter.
With the planet in mind…
The Tara Belmont x Laura Tomlinson collaboration has ensured that sustainability constantly influenced its composition while optimising performance and versatility of the designs. Climate change is a serious threat to the planet and a critical issue those within the fashion industry need to be mindful of when developing a collection. What’s more, as someone who is well recognised within the equestrian world it’s important Laura aligns herself with strong ethical values and champions sustainability. Being sure to deliver sustainable fabrics, practices and recycling plastic waste has remained at the forefront of our designs. Enabling us to champion sustainable solutions not just in the equestrian industry, but also the fashion industry remained a constant aspiration for a brighter future.
