Milliners Parade

TILT were the official photographer for the Singapore leg of Victoria Racing Club, Melbourne’s annual Emirates Melbourne Cup Tour. Besides showing the Emirates Melbourne Cup Trophy in their tour of countries, there was another purpose in this stop in Singapore. The season, style and fashion of the Milliners.

A little bit of history on the Fashions on the Field. The Victoria Racing Club was first was instigated in 1962. It was an attempt to ‘woo more women to the races’. Through the years, Fashions on the Field has undergone many developments. The basic premise of the Fashions on the Field at Flemington competition remains the same – an opportunity for the fashion industry to showcase its wares and for women and now men to indulge in their ‘passion for fashion’.

Held at St. Regis Hotel, the Milliners Parade proved to be a dazzling display of hats and bags. With the Emirates Singapore Derby happening this weekend, the Milliners Parade provided a sneak preview of how the horse-racing world in Singapore can be in the future!
