So far, I’d say Jonathan Saunders is having a pretty great year. He has sent an amazing Spring 2011 collection down the London Fashion Week runway. Saunders then was nominated for the 2011 BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund Prize thanks to that collection. And now news come out that Jonathan Saunders will design a capsule collection for Escada Sport’s Resort 2012 season.

Jonathan Saunders’s Escada Sport Resort 2012 capsule collection will be unveiled in June and will consist of about 20 pieces. Escada Sport is the more laid back and colorful offspring of the elegant and put-together Escada and color is exactly what Jonathan Saunders will bring to the label.

Escada, by the way, is set to be completely fur free starting January 2011.
