THIS season saw Kean Etro, the label's menswear creative director since 1990, reject his signature slim-fitting, formal tailoring to embrace a more relaxed way of dressing. There was a host of well-cut two-piece suits - but they were accessorised with loose outerwear, slouchy knits, unbuttoned shirts and billowing bright scarves.
Inspired by shoreline walks and the French Riviera, Etro’s new collection gave us clashing prints (also seen at McQueen and Westwood), from polka dots to stripes – although paisley seemed to be the print of choice: it covered trousers, shirts, V-neck tops and jackets. Fabrics were kept lightweight, from cotton to silk.
Famed for its mix of colour, the label’s summertime offering did not disappoint – bright yellow trousers were teamed with bold paisley prints and tweeds, while salmon pink shirts sat under blue and check suits.
