UPDATE (February 4, 2020): Following an initial announcement of Sandy Liang’s collaboration with skate shoe giant Vans, the New York designer has released the collection’s full lookbook and product lineup.
The ’90s-infused, unisex range includes a fuzzy leopard-print version of Vans’ iconic Slip-On, as well as chain and gem-adorned velvet iterations of the Authentic. A halter top featuring a gemstone butterfly is a nostalgic nod to early-aughts aesthetics while a pink jumpsuit with silver studs down the side is sure to become an instant favorite. Accessories including a chain-decorated fanny pack and sherpa crossbody put a twist on classic styles.
The Sandy Liang x Vans collection ranges from $14 to $199 USD and will launch on the Vans website and at select Vans stores, as well as at Sandy Liang’s website, beginning February 21.
