Flecks of Sunshine

Spring is the time of transition, and designer Heidi Kästner wanted to create the perfect garment for this season. The blouse, with its airy sleeves, has a sense of lightness but does not feel too revealing. Like a hedge that is just beginning to bud, allowing a few rays of sunlight to shine through, a little light reaches your arms.
