Pablo Gaston Sanchez
I am a fashion designer trained within some of Europe's most respected houses, including Hermès, Chloé, Iris van Herpen, and Lorenzo Caprile, with additional experience leading ready-to-wear collections at Massimo Dutti and Mango. My work spans womenswear and menswear, with particular depth in tailoring, outerwear, and collection development. I move between creative direction and hands-on execution: from concept and research through to fabric sourcing, sample oversight, and production. I am as committed to the precision of a couture finish as I am to making a collection hold its identity at scale. Having lived and worked across Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Asia, I bring an international perspective grounded in craft, material integrity, and thoughtful design. I take on work where there is a genuine respect for the process and a commitment to quality.

SANGAST designs bespoke service wardrobes for staff working onboard superyachts, in private estates, and across luxury hospitality environments. Every collection is developed from scratch for the client, the property, and its operation. From creative direction and material research through to prototyping and final production, each project is managed in-house and manufactured by specialist European ateliers. The studio draws on a foundation built within international luxury fashion houses, applying the same rigour in design, construction, and material selection to service wardrobes that have traditionally been reserved for runway and retail collections. SANGAST works with sustainable, high-performance fabrics selected for durability, quality, and purpose, and collaborates closely with specialist manufacturers to deliver exceptional execution at every stage.
