Etro presents the Fall Winter 2026.27 collection, Loop Forward, through the idea of circular motion. Marco De Vincenzo approaches design as a continuous system where recognizable signs return in altered form. Each season begins where the previous one paused, carrying forward flou silhouettes, layered prints, and references to masculine tailoring rooted in British dress codes. He treats these recurring elements as variables that shift through composition, allowing familiar motifs to appear with different emphasis, scale, and texture.
FALL WINTER 2026
De Vincenzo defines the collection through accumulation. He gathers references, objects, and visual cues, then reorganizes them into new relationships. Tartans appear alongside trompe l’oeil scarf prints and heraldic imagery drawn from coats of arms and medieval bestiaries. Paisley surfaces throughout the lineup, anchoring the visual language that defines Etro. Lean tailoring introduces sharp structure, while unexpected details such as feather trims alter the surface of coats and dresses. Small sea-wolf coats support this direction, introducing compact proportions and texture variation.
Knits carry cord-like details that resemble heraldic insignia. Pleated skirts introduce controlled volume and rhythm. Sequins extend vertically across garments, dissolving into feather finishes that soften their edge. Devoré jacquards appear on jersey, creating layered surfaces that shift under light. Golden fringes trace the edges of scarves tied at the hips like sashes or martingales. Dense embroideries depict fantastical animals, reinforcing the collection’s symbolic vocabulary while expanding its visual range.
Organic neutrals establish a base, followed by yellows and blues that introduce contrast and variation. Black anchors the palette with weight and clarity. These tones define the collection’s structure and guide attention across texture, embroidery, and print.
Sturdy boots introduce grounded proportions, while slender-heeled sandals feature thick ankle buckles that emphasize structure. Etro collaborated with Birkenstock on suede mules, adding a tactile dimension through material choice. Handbags maintain soft shapes and compact scale, appearing as small totes and embroidered pouches.
The show incorporated live performance and installation. Bluem, a London-based singer, songwriter, and producer from Sardinia, performed a medley that included Lunedì, Domenica, Giovedì, Il Cavallo, and Chia. Her music draws from Sardinian folklore and visual references tied to her artistic output, introducing a sonic layer connected to place and narrative.
Numero Cromatico presented an installation titled Now more than ever (2026) during the show. The work consisted of seven walk-through portals arranged in sequence, each defined by intense chromatic fields and tactile surfaces. These structures directed the audience through shifting zones of color and light. The installation functioned as an extension of the collection’s visual system, creating an environment that evolved through movement and perception.
