Royal Ascot 2025 may have finished but it is never too early to plan your outfit for 2026! Look no further than fashion designer Omar Mansoor’s Royal Ascot Collection.
This year he has collaborated with students from Uxbridge College, who participated as part of their professional work experience programme. Under Mansoor’s mentorship, the students were engaged in every stage of the design process—from fabric selection and pattern cutting to stitching and finishing—gaining vital, real-world insight into the workings of the fashion industry. “This collection fuses sustainable innovation with rich textile traditions and fresh talent,” said Omar Mansoor.
Mansoor’s exclusive 2025 Royal Ascot Collection is a celebration of ethical elegance, global craftsmanship, and educational empowerment. The collection showcases striking garments in deep navy recycled fibre-mixed fabrics, elegantly trimmed with hand-woven Ikat textiles from Uzbekistan, blending timeless sophistication with cultural storytelling.
The use of Uzbek Ikat, known for its vivid patterns and centuries-old hand-weaving techniques, brings cultural richness to the structured silhouettes of Mansoor’s signature Ascot designs. The deep navy palette paired with bold artisanal accents ensures these garments stand out while remaining within the strict Royal Enclosure dress code.
Highlighting the collection are knee-length dresses, exquisitely tailored to offer versatile elegance. Perfect not just for the excitement of horse races, these dresses can effortlessly transition to summer garden parties and other stylish occasions, embodying both sophistication and practical wearability.
Kiran Arturul, Course Instructor at Uxbridge College, praised the initiative: “Working with Omar has given our students rare, invaluable hands-on experience in couture.”
Continuing a tradition that began in 2009, Omar Mansoor’s Royal Ascot collections have consistently combined modern elegance with cultural depth. This 2025 edition goes further, acting as a bridge between sustainable luxury and educational upliftment.
Known for his campaign for sustainability in fashion, Omar Mansoor asserts that having a sustainably sourced option of wardrobe is an opportunity for racegoers, who can dress up whilst simultaneously thinking about the impact their fashion choices have on the environment.
