Where Grace Meets Grit
In this rustic-meets-regal editorial, photographer Mirko Zuccarello brings British equestrian aesthetics into vivid focus. Set among stables, sand, and golden light, the series follows model Jessica Dunder as she shares space with a horse—not as a prop, but as an equal.
Styled with crisp riding silhouettes, silk scarves, and poised tailoring, Jessica exudes both refinement and raw authenticity. There’s a visible bond between her and the animal—one rooted in trust and patience. Each frame captures more than fashion—it frames a relationship: one of mutual respect, calm energy, and poised femininity.
“The Equestrian Code” is more than a mood—it’s a moment of connection between worlds: human and animal, strength and elegance, instinct and art.
