Update: 2025-07-28
Description
In this episode, we’re joined by award-winning menswear designer Bianca Saunders, a creative force who’s redefining modern masculinity through tailoring, movement, and cultural nuance. From dressing Usher in custom Bianca Saunders at the Met Gala to showcasing in the Met’s 2025 exhibition, she shares how her British-Jamaican identity has shaped every stitch.
We dive into the power of family influence, how her mother’s old photo albums and memories of Jamaica inform her visual world, and why “looking proper” is more than just appearance; it’s heritage. Bianca opens up about the beauty in mistakes, the soft rebellion of her minimalist aesthetic, and how her collections interrogate tradition while building something deeply personal.
