2 0 9 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Without a doubt, Etro has played a huge role in keeping this symbol alive with positive associations. The collection is also a huge tribute to colour. From white hues to a kaleidoscopic rainbow, the clothes reveal light and joy just as a prism reveals the different rays of light of an object. The entire show is a crescendo that starts gently with dresses in shades of cream, ivory and taupe in delicate lace, silk crêpe and weightless cotton embellished with metallic thread and pearls then proceeds boldly with yellow and mustard patterns until the final burst of stunning colours, lending a psychedelic bohemian feel to the collection. Silk pyjama sets for both men and women, flowing gowns and floral patterned cotton printed with lurex, shimmering with movement, are distinct parts of the show. Swirls of colours and emotions pervade the collection that combines classic men’s and women’s clothes with intricate details and patterns. The silhouettes are loose and free in contrast with elements of defined tailoring. For both men and women, pleated cotton jodhpurs are high waisted and worn belted, while silk and light wool wide- legged trousers are cut loose and free. The entire collection is a tribute to life which, like a tree, grows and evolves day after day, its branches bearing new leaves while still remaining true to itself and its roots. Like a tree, Etro has evolved while its core values and spirit have remained the same.
