Summary
Joining us this week is famed fashion designer and Forbes 30 under 30 inductee, Sandy Liang! We discuss her childhood as a Chinese restaurant kid and how her parents' frivolous views on fashion influenced her to pursue a career in it. Sandy also dishes on what it's like being an Asian-American woman in a field which only recently has found room for Asian-American designers, most of whom are men. We also talk about the realities of the perceived "coolness" of the fashion industry. Follow Sandy at @sandyliang and please consider subscribing to our Patreon at patreon.com/feelingasian!
