Whitby’s Folly The equestrian world is steeped in misogyny and gender norms with the most notable example being the side saddle skirt: designed in response to women only being permitted to ride side saddle in order to protect their precious virginity and modesty. ‘Whitby’s Folly’ subverts equestrian traditions by using a tongue in cheek political humour derived from the world of burlesque. This collection has been designed and made with the queer performance community in mind and a focus on craftmanship to create pieces that will last.
