Sandy Liang Shows Off a Few of Her Favorite Things for Fall/Winter 2026
The range reminds us that though we may have to grow up, our clothes don’t have to. We can still party in our pajamas and wear our hearts on our sleeves.
We’re all a collection of the things we love the most, and Sandy Liang is a massive proponent of decorating ourselves with the trinkets and baubles that make us gush. As her Fall/Winter 2026 show notes read: “Sandy Liang embraces deliberate undertones and the intimacy that comes from wanting everything at once, from being so immersed in your favorite things that you become your favorite things.”
The Sandy girl wants it all. Maybe she wants to be a poet, or a photographer. Maybe she wants to do both, while also brushing up on astronomy. She wants to conquer the world, and she’ll do it all powerfully in a pair of pointe ballet flats. She’s both worldly and seasoned, yet young at heart all at once. She doesn’t really want to grow up — and though she may have to one day — her clothes certainly do not.
For the new collection, Liang pulled whimsical inspiration from her own inner fantasy world, informed by Marie Anoinette’s coquette universe or Kiki’s puffy dress from Kiki’s Delivery Service. Liang often pays homage to the playful elements that informed her childhood — cartoons humming in the background of a rushed morning routine or the colors and shapes of her younger self’s favorite sweet treats.
But this time around, she blended those influences with practical elements inspired by her family’s matriarchs, like apron-like layers or pockets posed for utility. This interplay shows off both a new sense of sartorial maturity for the brand, and a reluctance to depart with our inner child — maintaining the sense of wonder Liang is able to magically conjure again and again.
This juxtaposition is woven throughout each look, as displayed through a patterned bedspread morphing into a quilted jacket, bunny slippers evolving into dainty kitten heels, and pajamas that are fashioned into chic party frocks — because who ever said you can’t party in your PJs?
As the designer’s show notes also aptly state: “The best part of going out is getting ready.” Though the collection leans on signature Sandy style codes like co-ord sets and bow-overloaded dresses and blouses, it’s imbued with a sense of casual elegance that makes each look feel like elevated comfy-wear — and inevitably draws a personal connection to each piece, even from first glance. Standout looks include sheer skirts or dresses layered over long johns, sequined dresses, and fleece matching sets — an homage to the parts of ourselves we always return to, no matter how much the world around us changes.
