isn't interested in staying inside the lines. Though the London-based designer promotes her line as menswear first, Saunders' designs live in the cross-section of gender and sexuality, race and expression. There's an inherit politicism to her work, though perhaps a politicism that exists in the work of any artist pushing the boundaries of cultural understanding.
I think there's this idea that in order to defy stereotypes you have to go in this complete different direction and a lot of the time people exist in that space in between. You can show that it doesn't have to be just a duality. Can you talk a little bit about that? You were saying with this collection you want it to be more formal. How do you imagine people wearing it? Is it still streetwear worn throughout the day or is it eventwear?
When I went to New York there was this guy that was walking and I took a picture of him from afar because I just really liked the way his clothes looked. He was wearing this oversized shirt and then had this vest that was on top of it and it just squeezed everything in and it was so cool the way he moved in it. One of the sides of the shirt was a bit too high, and that was an inspiration I used in this collection.
