Zara Phillips 'confused' by fashion line

2nd August 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Zara Phillips gets confused about when items in her fashion line are being released as she works so far ahead.

The member of the British royal family - who married rugby player Mike Tindall on Saturday started designing an equestrian range with label Musto in 2009.

Following her nuptials in Scotland it was announced that the former Eventing World Champion and her new husband Mike would be putting their honeymoon on hold due to work commitments. One of those was Zara's work with Musto, and today she was busy promoting their new range for children.

"Riding and being outside all the time, that is kind of the clothes that I know and I wear every day so it was easier for me to do that than anything else," she told Sky News. "To try and bring it into the kids as well. It's been really interesting it has, especially how far forward you have to plan for next season I'm totally confused about what's coming out today!"

Last month the new ZP176 equestrian line for Musto was launched, which Zara also worked on. Prices ranged from 35 to 200 and the royal was delighted with the finished product.

"I tried and tested everything. With design, the products were already there I just tweaked a few things, like put in a longer cut for the riding jackets, so it won't expose the back if you're riding in the elements," she explained. "It's less to do with mainstream fashion and more about practicality and engineering something that works in training, but which you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in, in public."
