Fur has been a prominent feature on the runways this season, and Etro showcased some of the finest pieces. The show kicked off with a striking wool fur coat in bold black and white stripes, paired effortlessly with Paisley-printed trousers and a knitted waistcoat. This ensemble set the stage for a collection that exuded sophistication while still embodying Etro’s signature intricate prints.

The backdrop of the show, created by Numero Cromatico under the direction of Marco De Vincenzo, featured a mesmerizing display of primitive and fantastical creatures, emphasizing the collection’s focus on textures and fabrics. Despite the sleek and simple silhouettes that emphasized wearable daywear, the fabrics were opulent and rich, with glossy and rubberized finishes adding a luxurious touch.

De Vincenzo’s creative process involved revisiting and refining Etro’s rich heritage each season, incorporating new patterns and motifs while staying true to the brand’s essence. Collaborating with Korean artist Maria Jeon, the collection featured intricate embroideries inspired by fantastical zoology, alongside botanical prints magnified and abstracted on various garments.

In contrast to previous seasons, this collection showcased a more subdued and refined side of Etro, with a focus on understated elegance. The pieces ranged from fluid dresses with asymmetrical hems to airy organza tunics and elongated ’70s-inspired dusters, all reflecting a quieter yet equally captivating aesthetic.
