About Isabel Sanchis
Isabel Sanchis, was born in Valencia in 1956. During her teenage years, she created various designs for her friends and soon opened a small workshop where she designed and made bespoke garments.
In 1990, she presented her first collection and began working with shops close to her place of residence, and very soon started a successful expansion nationwide, reaching an increasing number of specialised boutique points of sale, where she is currently present in more than forty countries.
The brand has an international presence through its attendance at fashion fairs in New York, in Barcelona by participating in Bridal Fashion Week, at MBFWM, and in Paris, where it presents its two annual Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter collections in the private showroom it organises at the exclusive Ritz Hotel, attended by its national and international clients.
The Valencian fashion house also has an online shop to strengthen its international strategy.
The aim of Isabel Sanchis has always been, and will continue to be, to enhance femininity by carefully working with the finest selected materials, exclusive embroidery and highly precise pattern cutting, where the importance of well-made garments can be appreciated.
The result is the creation of dresses that are closer to haute couture than to prêt-à-porter, with the aim of demonstrating and conveying the importance of well-made garments.
Isabel Sanchis employs traditional techniques with a modern sensibility, creating striking and highly feminine pieces for the contemporary woman, and also uses techniques to create a 3D effect. The brand is characterised by its use of volume and the importance of the female silhouette.
To mark its 30th Anniversary, Isabel Sanchis organised, for the first time, a spectacular and exclusive fashion show to present its Autumn-Winter 2020 collection at the Spanish Embassy in Paris, attended by both international and national press, more than 300 guests, personalities from the fashion world such as the President of Condé Nast France, the Editor of Vogue France, former President of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Donal Potard, and model Inés Sastre, among other attendees.

Collection lines
Isabel Sanchis and Paula Maiques, the brand’s Creative Directors, tell us that the Spring/Summer 2027 collection is an eclectic collection, born from a study of those garments that, at different moments in history, transformed the way fashion was understood and the way women could express themselves, thereby communicating values and identity.
The collection revisits elements that once broke with established norms, often linked to feminism, to be reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
Bloomers, also known as bloomer trousers thanks to Amelia Bloomer, of Eastern origin, sometimes appear beneath dresses as a symbol of hard-won freedom. A garment that for a long time was associated with the male sphere and that, when incorporated into women’s wardrobes, challenged conventions and expanded freedom of movement, expression and identity.
The corset is transformed, appearing on various occasions fragmented across the body in garments created using 3D printing, providing the collection’s most avant-garde touch.
Prints inspired by scarves are associated with elegance and personal identity. They are also applied to new shapes and surfaces, connecting tradition and contemporaneity.
The collection, in short, is about breaking boundaries in order to be able to choose.
Personal style is a record of who we are; it allows people to find themselves, build communities and inspire change. Self-expression is a form of autonomy because clothing has a unique power.
The prestigious Valencian brand has a boutique in Valencia, as well as a new space in Madrid in a spacious premises located in the heart of the Salamanca district, at 98 Serrano Street.
The new establishment has a surface area of 360 square metres distributed across three floors, designed with bright and elegant interior décor, in keeping with the brand’s sophisticated and exquisite aesthetic. The space will be organised into distinct sections dedicated to the brand’s different collections.
The entrance level will house the prêt-à-porter, cocktail and haute couture lines, while the upper floor will contain the fitting rooms and the lower floor will feature the tailoring area and the bridal collection, a more special and private section.
The opening of the new space is an important step for the brand in a new phase of its development. Without doubt, it is a new space that reinforces Isabel Sanchis’s commitment to offering a personalised experience where excellence, craftsmanship and innovation are the unmistakable hallmarks of the brand, allowing national and international clients to immerse themselves in the brand’s universe and enjoy an exclusive experience.
