Fashion house ETRO unveiled its Fall Winter 2023 Collection, that explores the brand’s roots with the radical spirit, on Wednesday, February 22nd, during the ongoing Milan Fashion Week. The collection reframes the brand’s DNA – tartans, cravatteria motifs and paisley, with a new sense of precision. The long billowy dresses are paired with droopy, chunky knits, while androgynous trousers and vests are coupled with silk blouses. For the season tailoring is tall and precise.

“A moment arrives when coming to terms with the roots can no longer be procrastinated, in order to move forward, but also in order to truly shape one’s own identity. That moment, for Marco De Vincenzo, happens now. The more the creative director delves into Etro, the more the dialogue with what Etro is becomes compelling. The answer to such an exchange, of course, cannot be summed in one sentence. A dialogue is a work in progress, exactly like the place that frames the show today: an historic palazzo turned into a construction site, just wrapped or ready to be unwrapped. Delving into the history of a brand, after all, is an archaeological undertaking. For sure, this choice is quite radical, which is exactly the spirit Marco De Vincenzo is after. Radical as a moment in history which coincides with the foundation of Etro in 1968. Radical, most of all, in the original sense of the word. The origin of radical, in fact, isn’t at all radical. Borrowed from Late Latin radicalis, it means root.” – from Etro
