A fearless fall and winter is the order, and it will be colorful. Etro?s Autumn/Winter collection offers an adventuresome playground for active women who are rebellious. Inviting you to break the rules, Etro?s Paisley Tribe brings a free-spirited collision of color and pattern to festival-goers on a far-flung mountain top, those seeking a place of contemplation, or to a hurried city with multiple must-stop outings in one evening.
A sumptuous brand defined by mystery and a world culture mash-up, Veronica Etro edifies: ?To wear colors you have to be strong.? She adds, ?Women who wear Etro, love art, and travel, are open minded and unafraid to mix colors and patterns. She?s more about timeless collections rather than a fashion victim who wants the latest trend of the season. An Etro piece is like the pieces she collected during her travels.? The Italian high priestess of fashion is pleasingly soulful, mingling easily with Dallas women during an April stop at the Etro boutique in Highland Park Village. Plucking and reimagining the paisley that defines the family?s legacy, Etro used a psychedelic palette this season. Acid yellow, hot pink, and emerald green combine with traditional colors like pine, Bordeaux, and black. She created a mixed world where bold stripes and amplified angles intersect patterns, spinning mandalas, tie prints, florals, and leopard print on rich fabrics. Oversized Jacquard down coats, tweed parkas, and patchwork puffer jackets pair with goddess-long pliss? dresses, or frocks skimming the thigh.
“Robes get more regal this season. We have a lot of reversible cardigans, quilted pajama suits, and exotic prints, like?tiger. You can pick one piece in the collection and mix it with solids.? And like every great adventurer, a bag in which to carry one?s findings is of utmost importance. Etro bags are larger in order to carry essentials and adorned in jacquard with velvet lacing for the postman?s bag. Embroidered carpetbags come in messenger versions. The looks are finished with colorful felt, or suede, shearling-lined boots, and booties wrapped with ribbon.
?We are celebrating this gathering of free-spirited women on top of a mountain. It?s a Mongolian festival. They have created their own tribe,? Etro says of her love for different cultures, antique costumes, and jewelry. ?That?s what interests me in fashion; it?s not just about the clothes, it?s to be able to tell a story every time a client enters an Etro store.?
