Aintree 2026 Another Standout Year

There’s something about Grand National at Aintree week that never loses its energy. This year was no exception.

From the first race to the final day, it was a season filled with beautifully dressed women, returning clients, and pieces that felt as relevant as ever. Seeing so many of you come back to wear your Katie Mangan designs again, styled differently and worn your own way, was a highlight.

That’s always been the intention: to create pieces that don’t sit in boxes after one outing, but become part of your wardrobe, reworn, restyled and relied upon.

I also made it to the races myself this year. A last minute decision meant pulling everything together quickly, with the outfit and hat finished the night before. Sometimes that’s when it works best. I loved the day, the atmosphere, and being part of it.

Worn Again, Styled Differently

One of the strongest themes this year was repeat wear. Clients revisiting pieces from previous collections, pairing them with new outfits, and making them feel completely fresh. It’s a quiet kind of luxury, knowing a piece works beyond one moment, not just stylistically, but in how we think about buying, wearing and keeping.

Thank You

To every client who ordered, messaged, tagged, or trusted me with their race day look, thank you. Whether it was a one of a kind piece, something brand new, or something you’ve worn before, we love seeing your full looks.

What’s Next

Ascot is already on the horizon. Royal Ascot brings a different pace, a different energy, and the next collection is designed with that in mind. The next release will be available soon, with a limited number of pieces and very few bespoke slots. If you’re planning ahead, orders need to be placed sooner rather than later.

Looking Ahead

The focus remains the same: refined design, limited releases, and pieces that hold their place beyond a single event. Aintree, thank you again. Ascot, you’re next.
