In her Spring/Summer 2023 collection presented at Paris Fashion Week, Bianca Saunders reexamines the brand’s nuanced technical signatures. Tailored outerwear in distorted proportions lay a foundation for the collection. Familiar pieces like the Lexus jacket and convex hemmed bomber, both of which feature Bianca’s hallmark draped shoulder, return in coin green trompe-l’œil corduroy leather. Elsewhere, an elongated coat in bonded gabardine turns around to reveal a softer side, with backs cut from silky jacquards. Swirl-seamed denim trousers, appear structured but float down the runway. Layered, reversible long-sleeved twinsets, with split hems revealing contrasting tones, and the petrol-iridescent jacquard separates and warped grid printed crepe reference Bianca’s SS22 collection, while creating the illusion of liquid surfaces. Slouchily draped grainy lurex knit pullovers glimmer like on an 80s VHS cam. The season’s signature trouser features a stiff bonded wool front and a domed, gathered back, in lightweight cotton. An otherwise inconspicuous blazer features two elegant swooping drapes. Turtlenecks and wide-leg trousers are cut from satins in shimmering scarlet, sky blue and sunset orange, elevating everyday-wear to red-carpet status.
