Bianca Saunders might only be 31, but the British designer can already boast a slew of noteworthy accolades most in her field could only dream of.
In 2021, shortly after Saunders featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list she was named as the winner of the prestigious Andam award, a prize previously won by designers like Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Martin Margiela, and Anthony Vaccarello.
Saunders, who was nominated for the LVMH Prize in 2021, went on to win the New Establishment Menswear Award in 2023 before being included on the BOF 500 list.
Let’s just say it’s been a wild couple years for Saunders. That said, she isn’t done yet.
This season Saunders is embarking on her newest fashion venture with “Nothing Personal,” her first-ever unisex collection alongside Nona Source, the LVMH dead-stock fabric company.
"I always look at a lot of 1960s silhouettes and this season really introduced them into a more stable, consistent collection. It was fun experimenting with new collar shapes.”

For Saunders, who up until now has been an exclusively menswear designer, creating unisex clothing is something that occurred naturally during her label’s evolution.
