In our winter 2019 Family Ties issue, Barcelona-based eyewear brand Etnia celebrated the special bond of sisterhood, in a technicolour editorial featuring a cast of real-life sisters. Known for their bold frames and colourful design, Etnia’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection titled I’MPERFECT celebrated the beauty and grace found in imperfection and uniqueness. Shot by Laura Coulson and styled by Vittoria Cerciello on a cast of real-life sisters including Zuleika, Esmeralda and Zenobia Voegele–Downing as well as Ilana Luna and Ilse Lena, this story is a fitting celebration of the brand’s ethos – dedicated to the relationship that isn’t always perfect, but that is like no other.
