The pantless trend came in 2023, and the “no-clothes season” emerged in 2024, but there has always been someone ahead of the curve. Unabashedly pantless before it was in fashion, say hello to the Sonny Angel. Wearer of many hats, with a smile like Mona Lisa’s, the mini figurines are a cornerstone of contemporary girlhood and a fashion icon in their own right, accessorising outfits and inspiring countless crochet creations. Now, they are the muse for our latest lookbook, a collection of Sonny-Angel-inspired outfits, so you too can dress like an angel that brings joy to people’s lives.
Tomato Girl
The Tomato Sonny Angel is ripe for a Tomato Girl Summer. A pointelle knit set by Calle De Mar sets the (tomato) tone while the multicoloured Valentino headscarf, and raffia Mary Janes channel summer vibrance with their pop of colour. Completed with Miu Miu gold-tone sunglasses, the outfit is as good as gold.

Mob Wife
Match a loud print with an even louder trend. The Zebra Sonny Angel turns heads with its black and white stripes, just like how the mob wife demands attention with her jewellery. This mob wife wears Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas on the wrist, and Rainbow K on the ears. She makes a statement with her fuzzy shearling coat, the opening piece of the Gabriela Hearst Autumn/Winter 2024 runway, and paints her eyes with Dior before taking the city by storm.
