We asked Sanchez about her favorite piece of clothing, the flower vases she collects, and more

When styling, Sanchez draws upon sharp lines, functionality, and durability above all.
Where did you get the inanimate object that brings you the most joy? When I worked with Drake, I lived on the road. We went from hotel to hotel, and fortunately, I was in nicer hotel rooms where there were often beautiful desks. When I was sitting at these gorgeous writers’ desks, I felt more productive. And that is the feeling that I’m always searching for with an outfit: more put together and organized in my thoughts. So I realized the power of a good desk.
Where did you get your favorite piece of clothing? I was working with Brioni for a client, and I had the opportunity to go to its atelier in an Italian city called Penne, like the pasta. It was a life-changing experience because I’d certainly seen some factory or atelier spaces before, but I got to see all of the different suiting techniques they were doing and all of the hand stitching. It was special.
