It wasn't until 1987 after two years as an architect that Angel knew he was to become a fashion designer and returned to his roots. Angel quickly rose to fame in his native Venezuela and throughout Latin America. These successes lead to international expansion in 1997 when the company established its headquarters in New York City. Soon after Angel Sanchez evening wear was sold in prestigious US stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. In 1999 Sanchez debuted his bridal collection in the US where it received immediate attention by buyers and press.
