Perhaps one of the best things about New York’s Sandy Liang and her eponymous label is that exceedingly familiar feeling you get with every collection and collaboration like playing reruns of your most beloved TV show on while you cook. It’s a heartening sound. To be clear, with each of Liang’s collections, they aren’t reruns, just reassurance that she is scripting a legacy deeply rooted in her empirical, nearest and dearest sensibilities aka her life and the things she loves. For the location of her Fall/Winter 2020 show she chose her own alma mater, Stuyvesant High School, as the perfect illustration of that notion. Only her second runway event, this also felt like a sendoff to her younger codes as a designer and a commencement ceremony of a new, more sophisticated Sandy. Still––soft, cuddly and fun, just like her clutch-sized dog that was carried down the steps of her runway. Her signature fleeces and lined-puffers keep getting more, well, signature and she continues to lightheartedly grow up her dress silhouettes. Plus we saw a few more pieces tailored towards men, but can certainly be unisex. See backstage and onstage photographs from Saturday’s show below.
