Jonathan Saunders

The Designer

Saunders has become a highlight on the LFW schedule for his stunning, intricately engineered graphic prints in kaleidoscopic colour. His collections have been scooped up by prime international stores,  since he burst onto the scene in 2003.
Saunders went from Glasgow School of Art to Central Saint Martin’s, graduating with an MA in Printed Textiles in 2002 that won him the Lancome Colour Award. He continues to consult for some of the largest and most prestigious print fashion houses in Europe.

Collections

Each piece in his collections has a specifically designed print to work with the shape rather than vice-versa. The sharp silhouettes of his early collections have become more fluid, sophisticated and simple the last two seasons. His last show of stunning block colour prints on easy shapes proved a real winner both aesthetically and commercially.

The News

Saunders has just launched his first pre-collection which will be in stores from November. He has also collaborated with Boots 17 on a range of make up, to be launched in Boots stores nationwide from September.
