Etro Gets an Assist From Grandma
By ERIC WILSON
Veronica Etro got the idea for her spring Etro collection while visiting her grandmother’s country home, where she noticed the textiles on a patterned bookshelf and decided to bring them back to life. These she combined with metalwork from the Ottoman Empire and a touch of Eastern dressing, along with some signature Etro paisleys for a strong show on Friday.
MILAN FASHION WEEK
Coverage from in and around the Milan shows.
The colors veered from soft, iridescent pastels to vivid yellows with a black vine print on scarf dresses and wraps. The hits were the long paisley halters worn with with gold-fringed scarves loosely tied around the neck.

I really liked the fact that Veronica Etro got the idea for her spring Etro collection while visiting her grandmother. This goes to prove that inspirations not only comes from what we see everyday but it comes from the most unusual places such as textiles on a patterned bookshelf with combined metalwork from the Ottoman Empire and a touch of Eastern dressing, along with some signature Etro paisleys. However, I wished that ERIC WILSON would have went more into details explaining the type of fabric he see and more in debt detail about the designs and Silhouette.
