Tami Williams is off to the races. The sought-after SAINT International supermodel graces the new raceday womenswear collection campaign from British womenswear brand Phase Eight, which debuted earlier this month in stores and on its website.
And what’s the hot dress code for the track enclosure? Floral midi skirts, satin and polka dot midi dresses, statement fascinators, bow-detail hats, and suede clutch bags define the range of looks Williams dons for Phase Eight’s latest.
“We shot the campaign at the Santa Anita racetrack in California back in February,” the Jamaican top model disclosed to Living. Cristian Hunter was behind the lens for the American West Coast photo session where Williams was photographed alongside Dutch model Julia Bergshoeff.
“The energy on set was great. It’s always a vibe shooting in Cali,” shared Williams, who jetted in from her home base in the Big Apple for the Phase Eight assignment. “I loved being around the horses at the track and also had the most fantastic time working with Julia.”
The expansive Phase Eight collection of racetrack-appropriate ladies’ garb is a collaboration with the Goodwood Racecourse in West Sussex, England.
The fashion retailer is the official womenswear partner for this year’s slate of Goodwood races, which begin with a season opener on May 1.
Additional Goodwood sporting days are scheduled in July, August and September, with the Qatar Goodwood Festival and Autumn Racing on the docket.
The Goodwood estate was bought by the first Duke of Richmond, son of King Charles II, in 1697. The first public race meeting took place on site in 1802.
Phase Eight was established in 1979 by Patsy Seddon as a small boutique in Wandsworth Common, London. Today, the brand has 106 stores and 207 concessions in the United Kingdom and 18 stores and 128 concessions in Switzerland, Germany, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Ireland.
Beyond Phase Eight, Williams is a go-to advertising face for a number of established brands, including Express, Victoria’s Secret and Maybelline.
Tami joins SAINT’s Martinican model, Aurelie Giraud, as the second model from the Deiwght Peters-led agency to be featured in a Phase Eight campaign. Giraud appeared last year in the brand’s Summer 2025 collection advertising blitz.
