“Sky is the limit: De Rerum Natura, Lucretio: When the land, sea and sky are serene and calm, the goddess then comes and brings to earth the intense vital energy [filling all things]: first the birds, then the wild beasts, and domestic animals, and all follow the goddess, wherever she wishes. They bring everything to life again.” — Kean Etro, creative director, Etro

“Hiking.” — Thom Browne, creative director, Moncler Gamme Bleu

“The FW17 collection will be the natural extension of our previous one: a group of young men that secretly leaves their house through the window to run away to a party. This is the tale of our vision of Made in Italy that also Italianizes the stereotypes linked to fashion.” — Simone Rizzo and Loris Messina, creative directors, Sunnei
