Sonya Starzhynska’s Retro-Cool Swim Campaign

Sonya Starzhynska unveils a playfully nostalgic swimwear collection for Miss Money Panties—a total throwback to sun-drenched summers of the past.

There’s a certain magic to a fashion campaign that doesn’t feel like a campaign at all, but rather a sun-soaked memory. That’s precisely the vibe Sonya Starzhynska and photographer Brooke Olimpieri captured for the Miss Money Panties line. The resulting images are a masterclass in modern nostalgia, feeling both effortlessly chic and intimately personal—like a found photo album from a summer on the coast.

Sonya Starzhynska one look

Starzhynska is shot on a yacht, the open sea and marina as her backdrop. She wears a minimalist, white bikini—a quintessential piece of summer. The tiny, ruched triangular top, with its delicate ties, feels both classic and undeniably sexy.

The bottom, a ruffled brief in a similar soft, creamy hue, adds a playful, almost retro touch. The entire ensemble is a testament to the power of simplicity; it’s all about clean lines, beautiful texture, and the kind of fit that feels like a second skin.

Another image transports us to the cozy, wood-paneled interior of the boat. Here, Starzhynska swaps the white for a vibrant green gingham bra-style top, a pattern that immediately evokes picnics and classic Americana. Paired with a shimmering, seafoam-green satin ruffled brief, the look feels both sweet and sultry.

The contrast between the country-chic gingham and the silky, lingerie-inspired brief is a study in stylish contradiction. The images capture a candid, unforced mood, as if we’re catching her mid-day, in a moment of playful self-care.
