Bianca Saunders

Biography

Bianca Saunders (born 1993) is a British fashion designer who founded the London-based menswear label that carries her name in 2017, after completing a master's degree at the Royal College of Art. Of Jamaican descent and raised in south-east London, she is known for tailoring that reworks conventional menswear through twisted seams, rolled shoulders and draping techniques drawn from womenswear, and for work that examines ideas of masculinity and Caribbean diaspora identity. In 2021 Saunders won the grand prize at the 32nd ANDAM Fashion Awards in Paris, worth €300,000 and a year of mentoring from Balenciaga chief executive Cédric Charbit.
