Sestra Fall-Winter 2012
The new collection is a reflection of the young brand philosophy. Its main
priorities are perfection
of the cut and the fitting, attention to details and fabric comfort.
The complex color palette with deep shades of black, grey and olive is
highlighted by rowanberry
scarlet and frosty blue.

The focus is on timeless basic pieces rather than seasonal trends. References
to the past are not
about nostalgic or retro moods, it’s a natural acceptance of ourselves and
our history.
