New York City-based label Sandy Liang crafts avant-garde womenswear steeped in cultural nostalgia. A Parsons graduate, the namesake designer, Sandy Liang, views clothing as deeply personal—using design as a zeitgeist-capturing record of her past. References to a series of childhood muses, such as Margot Tenenbaum and Ponyo, inform the brand’s emotive and relatable garments. Playing with contrasts and proportions, its luxurious collections are characterized by feminine silhouettes juxtaposed with androgynous grunge. Since 2014, the house has been elevating eclectic staples through easeful tailoring and cut-out techniques—transforming a modest fleece jacket into its coveted trademark piece. Fusing familiarity with authentic adaptations, Sandy Liang creates playfully innovative rarities in women’s fashion.
