Showcasing another stunning collection to add to Sandy Liang’s collection at New York Fashion Week, the designer has kept true to her brand’s charming feminine style, whilst incorporating a subtle touch of the noughties. Here’s a breakdown of how she did it:
Skirts Over Trousers
Layering a skirt over a pair of trousers was an unquestionable attribute of noughties fashion.
Millennial’s will remember this being Ashley Tisdale’s go to red carpet look and no doubt tried to replicate it themselves. Keeping true to the Sandy Liang style with exquisite tailoring and pleats, the designer has reworked the trend, adding a chic and sophisticated touch to this unusual layering strategy.


Noughties Party Dress
From Paris Hilton at the 2003 Teen Choice Awards, to Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, the noughties dress was worn by every it girl through the decade. The attributes of a noughties party dress often include ruffles, an asymmetric neckline, a bodycon fit and a zig-zag hemline. Sandy Liang has made this noughties trend her own by adding bows and a corsage, both firm staples to her brand.


Low Waist
Waistlines were low during the noughties. A trend borrowed from the nineties yet firmly cemented in the decade thanks to pop stars like Britney and Beyonce, as well as the need to show off the tramp stamp. Sandy Liang has implemented this trend to her AW24 collection a touch classier than we witnessed it to be in Y2K, as the minimalist tailoring and colour pallet aligns perfectly with the designers more whimsical, feminine style.
