Bianca Saunders – the Jamaican-born, London-based menswear designer – is creating six avant-garde footwear designs to be manufactured entirely in Portugal, together with APICCAPS – the Portuguese Association of Footwear, Components, Leather Goods and Related Industries, and partner Valuni.
The six distinct styles designed by Bianca Saunders range from loafers to mid-calf boots and high-top trainers. A spring-summer 2025 capsule to be launched at the show scheduled for Wednesday 19 in June, as part of the men’s Paris Fashion Week programme.
“This footwear collection is an exciting new chapter for us as a brand. With my own fascination design and the mechanics of how tailoring works, you will see elements of my trademark techniques — manipulations of industrial components like pulls, pulleys and contours that have brought an angular perspective.”
