Etro, known for richly detailed prints and boho glam Italian style had a particularly strong Pre Fall collection. A more casual feel breathed new life and versatility into the collectable pieces. The fur trimmed brocade coat shown over white jeans and a simple crew neck sweater emphasized the possibilities. The peaked lapel black blazer outlined in a red and gold metallic trim could cross over from day to evening. Highly detailed, superbly colored prints has always been Etro’s specialty. It takes generations of skilled artisans to hone and refine the craft of fine printing as the Etro’s have done over the years. A covetable border printed silk kimono shows their expertise. It would work over everything from jeans to trousers with a white tuxedo shirt and heels for a casual but chic evening look. I could grow old in that kimono and never stop finding ways to wear it.
