2013 fashion theme for Durban July Handicap

 

POSH? OH MY GOSH!

It’s classy this year so mind your P’s and Q’s,
To give you direction, here are a few clues.

Have a look at Ascot, so proper so right,
A touch of class, a couturier’s delight.
It’s the look and feel we’re talking about,
So refined, quite grand without a doubt.

At Longchamp the French do it with flair,
Understated elegance in their finery fair.
The Melbourne Cup is one special day,
Even the Aussies sport the fashion way.

So what’s Durban to do to make this unfold?
Tasteful, chic style, the story be told.
Year twenty thirteen is lucky for most,
Raise the fashion bar on KZN’s east coast.

A modern interpretation of days gone bye,
Fair ladies, fine gentlemen will catch the eye.
A final clue if you’re still in doubt,
It’s posh, posh, posh we’re talking about.

Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event
