Meet Barbara Sanchez Kane, a Mexican born fashion designer, who is specifically focused on menswear inspired by her mexican heritage. In 2010 she completed her first degree in industrial engineering from Universidad Anahuac. Five years later she graduated from her next degree in fashion design from Polimoda, Florence, after she finished her intership at German designer Bernhard Willhelm in Los Angeles. In the month June of the same year she decided to launch her brand SANCHEZ-KANE.

She will present her new collection 'Courage of the Brave' on Saturday July 2 in Show 3 during FASHIONCLASH Festival. You can buy tickets here.

When did you realize you wanted to be a fashion designer?  
I loved to style myself even in my small town… got a couple of stares from time to time. I ended up studying engineering as it was expected form me, but it never felt quite real. Somewhere in the middle of my BA I had some health problems that just made me change 360 my standing point. Talked to my family about wanting to study fashion and they supported me only if I finished engineering, so I did! Graduated from fashion design from Polimoda in and have been designing ever since.
