The designer will receive a cash prize of £200,000 as well as becoming part of a exclusive mentoring programme which will help him achieve his business goals over the following twelve months.
He told Vogue 'I am so happy about winning the fund, the last 12 months have been an exciting time for me and my team and I'm very proud of all their hard work. We have many plans for the near future and this along with the support network provided by the BFC will enable us to achieve our goals'.
Saunders has also won Scottish Designer of the Year award for the past two years and after beating industry favourite Mary Katrantzou to the prize can only be a good thing.
