the rally
I’m going to be completely honest here: I have never watched rally racing outside of a few stray YouTube videos. However, the sheer chaos of the sport is fascinating. Idyllic forests, snow-capped peaks, and even remote deserts echo with the roar of turbocharged engines. The drivers hurl themselves across cliff faces with no apparent regard for life or limb. And yet the drivers might not even be the boldest people involved. Fans line the longest jumps and sharpest hairpins with no protection whatsoever, standing in the middle of the road and running out of the way just as the cars arrive.
In this post I’m looking to tap into this adrenaline and petrol soaked hysteria, with a playlist as loud and chaotic as the stages of the rally. I saw the outfits as an opportunity to break from my understated leanings in favor of a maximalist array of patterns and colors. I hope you all enjoy the madness as much as I did.
