PLAYWORK
Autumn Winter 2023
A parallel sensibility lies at the heart of Playwork, Bianca Saunders’ AW23 collection. Inspired by the work of comedian and playwright, Oliver Samuels, central to this season’s proposal is a continuation of Bianca’s exploration of the malleability of perception – how first appearances give way to layered meanings and ways of seeing. This season also features a sophomore capsule of pieces from Bianca’s partnership with leather experts Ecco, as part of At.-Kollektive. An expression of Ecco’s leather savoir-faire and Bianca Saunders’ idiosyncratic design language, the collaborative capsule’s shoes and bags speak to the brand’s subtle, experimental flair.
