Born in the O.C, but with Mexican roots, Adolfo Sanchez definitely knows how to dress women. His signature ready-to-wear line, launched back in 2006, summarizes an ideal combination of texture, daring silhouettes, and striking allure, the perfect choice for all the contemporary, independent women out there in search for a way to look effortlessly chic .Sanchez mainly focuses in the concept of wearability and the premise that ‘art should create something that speaks curiosity’, which clearly reflects in his custom creations, his ready-to-wear collections and his accesories line.
With a love for metallic fabrics, a devotion for clean lines and being faithful to polished textures, this designer takes ‘edgy’ to a whole different level, where those of us who are more of a classic ‘kinda’ gal’ can also feel identified. There’s somewhat of a classy- edgy appeal to his work that’s simply irresistible.
Perhaps I could describe it as contemporary, originally trendy, and incredibly chic. But what a better way to define Adolfo Sanchez than to have the designer himself explain it to us:
* Adolfo, please describe the woman you design for.
The woman I design for is a strong independent woman in her late twenties, early thirties. She is modern and adventurous both in her style and her personality.
* If you had to choose 1 favorite textures & 1 favorite color to work with, what would they be?
Wool and fur play a big role in my designs, and that’s because they are one of my favorites. I like playing with them. My number one color is black because it is everything (classic, edgy, elegant)
* What was the inspiration behind your SS2012 collection?
Last season, Fall/Winter 2011, I wanted to create a dark collection that’s aesthetic was wearable for woman from east to west. This Spring/Summer 2012 collection, however, I wanted to create softer designs, inspired in the 1920’s but with a modern look to them. I used my usual dark colors combining them with pastels and always giving some edge to the designs.
* Adolfo Sanchez seems to be a household name in Hollywood. Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian have chosen your designs. Which other celebrities would you love to see wearing Adolfo Sanchez?
If I had to pick a person/celebrity that I would love to work with i would say the always amazing Grace Jones!! I like dressing woman that are in full control of their style; when she actually wears the garment instead of the garment wearing her.
* Last but not least, Fashion Fill-in
