Hot on the heels of her Baggu collaboration, Sandy Liang presented her resort collection, which, though out later this year, makes for an intriguing rejoinder.
Among the standouts were new versions of her beloved satin jacket-and-skirt sets, including two spirited new colorways, baby blue satin and a lustrous brown. “I love the pre-season collections because they’re more like… I don’t have to think about what things will look like on a runway—I just think about what I would want to wear,” said the designer. That includes some fun new long johns in playful prints and hues, which can be easily mixed and matched with breezy skirts from this collection or, for die-hard fans, the ones they undoubtedly have in their own closets. Hair barrettes are another favorite of Liang’s to wear—and perfectly in line with her unabashedly girly aesthetic—and this season, you’ll find even more to join the lineup.
If you’re a longtime Liang fanatic, you’ll know that outerwear was one of the categories that put the brand on the map—especially those printed fleeces. If last season she focused on cutesy pieces to wear with your going-out dresses, this season she leaned towards sporty anoraks and heavy-duty parkas to join her existing array of shearlings and coats. The parkas are particularly convincing and come in two colors, a midnight navy and a flirty pink with a sweet bow detail at the back. In the lookbook, Liang styles it with her short dresses, proving just how versatile they can be. Who says an investment piece has to be boring?
