Adolfo Sanchez is a pioneer in the fashion industry. He began working in fashion aged 19 in the suburbs of Southern California, where he was born. His early work as an intern quickly brought him into contact with Vivienne Westwood, Thierry Mugler, and Jean Paul Gautier. From here, he began to explore his own unique potential as an artist. By his own admission, his work is always inspired by his surroundings, with people, places, and music's particular influences. This passion helped propel him to work for leaders in the industry, such as Carolina Herrera, Versace, and Gucci.
Shortly after, in 2006, he opened his namesake ready-to-wear line for women. His work represents the LA fashion scene from an entirely new perspective. His combination of made-to-measure evening and bridalwear is noteworthy for its hand-beaded designs and intricate patterning. Since his early break, Sanchez has never looked back. His collections encourage women to dare to be strong and different.
The motivation to start his own brand, dressing celebrities, his views on networking, and where he gets his inspiration are some key points touched on during his episode of Discover a Thriver.
