art inspired: roberto dutesco, chasing wild horses
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
On my way to Germany a few months ago, I spent the morning in New York and was drawn like a magnet into the Samuel Owen Gallery to better view Roberto Dutesco's larger than life wild horse images up close and personal. These mammoth photos of one of the world's last herd of wild horses have made the rounds on design blogs for years it seems, but seeing them all together in a large space was pretty great. The gallery gave me Chasing Wild Horses, Roberto's documentary about his personal journey that took him from the life of a top fashion photographer of Victoria Secret beauties and Vogue couture to his ultimate subject: the untouched beauty of Sable Island's wild horses.
This week's fashion inspired post looks to the unexplainable connection we all feel with the mythic quality of wild horses.
Clockwise from top left: Josie Singlet $22; Simon Ings Horse Leg Leather cuff $3,655; Dorothy Perkins tee $12; Topshop Horse print Shorts $60; Gucci Horsebit Sunglasses $345; Emma Cook silk horse print top $350; Laura Lee Horse Cameo Ring $356; Low Luv Horse Hoof Ring $39; We Are Handsome the Knight printed swimsuit $145; Gucci 18k rose gold diamond Horsebit necklace $8,575.
P.S. I am giving away a copy of Robert Dutesco's Chasing Wild Horses - to enter follow @trustyourstyle on Instagram - if you already follow, you're already entered! The winner will be announced next Monday.

love this post.

I love all of these pieces, Mary Jo! There's something so powerful about horses. They're so strong and I always get a sense of freedom when I see them.
Hope you're having a wonderful week :) xoxo
I love horses... As a kid I wanted to learn riding them but never had a chance... Such beautiful animals!

I can't stop staring at that bathing suit! Maybe it's the colours and the silhouette of the horse, there's just something sublime about it... even now as I'm typing I'm still staring at it. Don't know if I'd ever wear it though.. but I may just get it to look at.
