The mood at Etro was reassuring and cheerful, despite the sense of confusion and uncertainty lingering in the world today.
Etro is one of the few companies that does not shy away from the idea of delivering pre-collections that are rich and creative but strongly rooted with a commercially savvy approach. This season, creative director Veronica Etro celebrated some of the brand’s iconic motifs.
“This is an ode to exoticism and to color explosion,” said the designer, referring to the flamboyant palette and vibrant attitude of prints and embroideries. These were described by the designer as “a definite floral and paisley blossom worthy of Frida Khalo.”
Lush flowers were combined with Etro’s signature paisley motifs on a range of pieces cut in flowing, relaxed silhouettes, such as a silk plisse wrap dress cinched at the waist with a soft silk belt, as well as a feather-light silk poncho trimmed with fringes.
