Fashion house ETRO presented its Fall Winter 2023.24 Collection, that explores fabrics and domesticity, on January 15th, during the recently finished Milan Fashion Week. The collection titled ETROMATTERS fuses the brand’s codes with the designer’s own personal past. For the season, Etro also merges the public with the private, and the homely with the social. This is Marco De Vincenzo‘s first men’s collection for the house.
FALL WINTER 2023.24 COLLECTIONS
“The creative path originates in the sense of reassurance offered by a jacquard velvet blanket, which Marco cherished as a child and whose pattern is reproduced onto broad woolen coats and jackets. Tactility is key, with jacquard and weaving overtaking print. Pieces are put together and assembled to stimulate both sight and touch, with 3D crochet fruit growing on jumpers, melton patches defining jacket collars, psychedelic swirls liquefying on fuzzy pullovers.
Domestic camouflage is the thing: upholstery fabrics are cut into blusons, long shirts and overalls recall curtains, dress shirts resemble tablecloth. Teddy shorts and tops provide further homely coziness. Hidden from sight, patterned linings are a private pleasure that further augments the play of motifs and textures, with tartan – an early Etro success – in a leading role. Tailored pieces are slim and elongated. At night, little flowers bloom over smoking lapels and cummerbunds.” – from Etro
