Development Of The Zara Phillips Clothing Range

By Marissa Velazquez


The Zara Phillips clothing range came about as a result of a collaboration between the Musto brand and this dedicated equestrian. Phillips is granddaughter to the Queen and has been riding since she was a young child. She has been extremely successful and won the Eventing World Championship in 2006 and a silver medal at the Olympics hosted in London in 2012.

The development of a range of equestrian garments by Musto was just a matter of time. Like sailors, riders too are exposed to the elements and need to remain as warm and dry as possible. Phillips was a great ambassador for the brand and her collaboration in production of this range was a logical one. She is known on the world stage for her equestrian successes, including winning the Eventing World Championship in 2006 and a silver medal at the Olympics in 2012.

As an ambassador for the Musto products, it was inevitable that Phillips would collaborate with the brand to produce an equestrian range. The logo of the range is ZP176. This was the team number she wore when representing Britain for the first time.

All the practical experience she acquired in her many years as a rider could now be utilized in making these products as comfortable as possible. Stylishness was also important to her and this shows in the cut of the garments, with articulation built in to the sleeves and other features allowing for free movement. The garments were also well tested, making sure of their quality and durability.

The range includes a number of jackets as well as a polo shirt and a gilet. These jackets are all about practicality in training rather than functioning at the forefront of fashion trends. The cuts are classically stylish and are perfectly acceptable for wearing in public without embarrassment. The collection even includes some caps.

The technology used in the fabrics means that they are extremely waterproof and breathable. The moisture is wicked out and the warmth kept in. Rain drops simply slide off the fabrics due to the water repellent finish.

There are a number of suppliers selling these products and browsing online websites offers an opportunity to compare products and prices. A reputable company should be chosen and reading online reviews written by satisfied customers is one method of determining reliability. Choosing the correct size is important and sizing guides are provided. There are also a range of colors from navy and black to orange and red to select from.

In recent years, the features on these garments have increased their practicality without taking away from their style. For example, fleece lined pockets may be included, well positioned for keeping hands warm. A hood may be removed and adjusted. Cuffs have adjustable studs. Vents at the rear of the garment make it fit well over the saddle. Zippers with a pommel flap in front help with fit and comfort too.

The Zara Phillips clothing range combines the expertise acquired by the Musto brands over many years with the practical experience of this daughter of Princess Ann and very successful equestrian. The range produced is of superior quality, with designs allowing for freedom of movements and fabrics that are waterproof and breathable.
