BIANCA SAUNDERS’ JAMAICAN HERITAGE SHINES THROUGH HER SPRING/SUMMER 2024 COLLECTION – EBONY
Thu 22 Jun
For Bianca Saunders, her love for her Jamaican heritage will always shine through her collections. The London-based Jamaican always had a creative side growing up. Through encouragement from her parents, she decided at 14 that she wanted to be a designer. With a push from a tutor, she went down the menswear path and even designed a men’s collection for her BA inspired by the men in her family who were in a funk band. This is where she was able to determine her aesthetic.
