Bianca Saunders presents a deeply personal collection for autumn/winter 2020, both her
Black Caribbean roots and also her signature cutting that captures movement in clothes.
VHS recordings of dancehall parties led her to consider the pride and display of dancing, as
well as how obsolete technologies warp and morph imagery. Throughout, Bianca pushes at
gender, and investigates construction to propose fresh ideas for menswear.
“This is a collection about my background, about my heritage, about being Black Caribbean.
I used distortion, things that curved, and always a play with gender, and how we see masculine clothes

Padded jackets have wire running through their horizontal seams, creating shapes as if
movement has been stopped and paused. Wire also runs through the hem of a black cotton drill shirt, capturing a moment of fluidity.

The shoulder is a particular point of focus. Denim shirts have the shoulder point brought
closer to the neck, topstitched like the outline of a vest, allowing the sleeve itself to follow the
natural line of the body. Denim throughout has been provided by sustainable denim producer @ISKOdenim.

On jackets, Bianca has developed a signature shoulder that combines strength and softness.
A shoulder-pad sits on top of a sleeve-head that’s tucked in underneath, creating a correct
tailored line with a shoulder that reveals sensitivity beneath. It’s found on pieces like a
tailored jacket with one concealed button, or a white faux-leather jacket.

Details count: a long, tailored coat with the signature shoulder has a covered placket, so that
no buttons show. It’s the same on shirts, a clarity of design that means the shirt’s fluidity can
shine through. Some shirts have ruching at the side, as if hitched up because the wearer has their hand in their trouser pocket.

Tailored trousers have belted backs so they can be cinched in a specific way. Sweatpants
have a double waistband, the elastic becoming a form of ruching. As with all the trousers,
denim jeans have inside seams that curve outwards, creating a sense of continual movement.
