Robert George Sanders is a Central St Martins fashion design graduate who is in a constant battle to both artistically define himself yet remain label free. He creates flamboyant and fantastical costumes that challenge our perception of gender - showcased in different landscapes from the Turner Contemporary in Margate to woods in Kent.

Through his designs, Robert explores his identity as an artist, a trans woman and a son. Mum Georgie has always empowered him to be true to himself, so when she’s given a health diagnosis, Robert turns to his art as a coping mechanism.
