A soundtrack of thundering hooves? Jodhpurs in exaggerated proportions and black, beige or red leather? Tall black boots that looked as though a pair of chaps had accidentally slipped down the leg to cover the heel? Quilted jackets in laser cuts the like of which have never been seen anywhere near a point to point? Leather coats with cape flaps? And the most direct in flagrante allusion of all; spindly strapped, sunray pleated, filmy negligee dresses in the winning purples and oranges of jocky silks, accessorised with black leather gloves that reached to the arm pit?
