GIRL CRUSH:
SONIA ERYKA

Her takes on 80s fashion, creative paths, and things that constantly inspire her

Fashion photographer, creative director, and owner of a ready-to-wear label Kasmaran Indonesia, Sonia Eryka talks about her nostalgic-maximalist fashion style, the tenets behind her creative career and things that constantly inspires her.

With just a look at her aesthetically curated Instagram profile (@soniaeryka), it is apparent that she takes a lot of inspiration from punk and grunge scenes from the 80s with lots of leather, animal prints, sequins, and neons. Shot in the luxurious setting of La Vie All Suites Apartment, discover how our team styled Sonia in quirky layerings of denim-on-denim with obi belts from TOTON, a magenta set from Peggy Hartanto, and deconstructed denim jacket from Tangan.
