Sandy Liang SS22

September 14, 2021

Inspired by the youthful, ultra-femme feeling of fashion from the early Aughts, Sandy Liang toyed with the balance between feminine and workwear for her new SS22 collection. Presented outside of Abrons Art Center, Liang set the show's tone using songs from Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette. This soundtrack perfectly captured the essence of the tender, however still sporty and dynamic collection. The majority of the models were outfitted with stick-straight hair and dark smokey eye makeup, another stark contrast against the fun femme energy Liang delivered with this collection.

Liang experimented with more oversized skirts and layered, whimsical frocks, presenting new versions of some of her signature styles. Each look was paired with a pair of Solomon sneakers, further driving forward the idea of the ultra-feminine everyday uniform.

For this SS22 collection, Liang stuck to some of her classic designs while developing and offering a more comprehensive range of silhouettes. Unveiling a new caricature digital print, a small flower adorned with the letters SL, Liang paired body con tops decorated with the pattern under her new oversized full-bodied mini and maxi dresses. Sets were all the rage in this runway show, from a baby pink miniskirt and jacket, navy uniform style skirts with matching pants underneath, cute eyelet bottoms, and matching tops, all the way to a brown leather tank and skirt set. Liang also explored layering with this collection, cutting out pieces from a beautiful lacy, eyelet-covered frock and filling in the gaps with a soft body-hugging mesh. There was something for everyone present in this collection.
