Radnor Races: A Decade of Fashion

This past Saturday would have been the 90th Annual Radnor Hunt Races, but no surprise in these uncertain times the event has been postponed until next year on May 15, 2021. The Radnor Races have always been one of my favorite outdoor events, rain or shine, and I’ve been photographing if for the past decade. One constant attraction at the fundraiser is the fashion, very preppy, clean and colorful. Funds raised by the 25,000 attendees benefit the clean water and open space programs of the Brandywine Conservancy in Chadds Ford, PA. I’ve been covering the event for nearly a decade now, and the fashions haven’t changed much.
