New York designers don't get much cooler than Sandy Liang. I can easily trace the rise in girlhood-inspired fashion—filled with bows, gingham, and more bows—back to her namesake brand's 2014 launch. Nostalgic flourishes are a calling card in every collection; her runways are an "If you know, you know" source of inspiration for fashion editors who keep their inner child at the center of their mood boards. So when I first heard a Sandy Liang x Gap collaboration was on the way, it shot to the top of my personal 'must-buy' list.
The limited-edition capsule just officially arrived on Gap's website and in select stores. The mix of women's and children's styles finds common ground between Gap's nostalgic heritage and Liang's penchant for a feminine, sweet aesthetic. Think: poplin striped shirts stitched with bows on the pocket, or a vintage Gap sweatshirt spelling "S-A-N-D-Y" across the front.
