B谩rbara S谩nchez-Kane: Re-imagining men's fashion

A Mexican fashion designer disarms masculinity through menswear. We join B谩rbara S谩nchez-Kane in Mexico City, following the creation of her next line.

B谩rbara S谩nchez-Kane is a Mexican fashion designer with eclectic influences: from quincea帽era dresses to BDSM harnesses, Jesus's loincloth to lucha libre wrestlers in lingerie. B谩rbara revels in the camp and complexity of everyday gender performance. Resisting traditional notions of masculine and feminine, B谩rbara creates spaces of tension between these contrasting costumes.

We join B谩rbara in Mexico City to follow the creation of her next line, from studio sketches to final fittings.
