Etro

MILAN, September 27, 2009
By Sarah Mower
Veronica Etro picked up on some of the trends of the season, but managed to weave in a sense of her family's heritage in print and exotic fabric. She started with a floppy duster coat over a pair of pale pink patchwork pants in unpressed silk, and from there found ways to work in the house paisleys on satin, chiffons, and voiles, which she used on everything from pajamas to jumpsuits to long, multitiered halterneck dresses. Her palette of mushroom, dusty pinks, and violet provided a baseline to tie it all together. There were some things that were spot-on trend, like a striped black and gold Lurex sweater or a little pair of army shorts. But then again, why would a woman go to Etro, over anyone else, for that sort of thing? What really will sell is far more likely to be the romantic, early-seventies-influenced printed gypsy blouses, multitier halternecks, and long dresses, items in which to breeze around on a beach. All in paisley, of course.
