Etro Fall 2026
For Marco De Vincenzo, Etro remains a continuous journey. Each season may take a new direction, yet the designer always returns to the house’s roots of rich textiles and escapist storytelling. “I’m working in continuity, not only with what I did in the past, but with what Etro did before me,” he said backstage. “It’s like a circle. Every time the system of decorative elements that Etro owns comes back, but they are never the same.” His Etro Fall 2026 collection felt exactly that way: familiar yet constantly renewed, blending heritage with modern flair.
The show opened with refreshing restraint. Masculine tailoring met British heritage through feather-trimmed suits, tartan scarves tied at the waist, and checkered pleated skirts paired with chunky sweaters in heraldic patterns. Military-inspired coats layered over denim trousers and printed dresses created a sense of utility softened by texture. As the collection unfolded, Etro’s bold iconography took over, with paisleys, stripes, and intricate weaves multiplying in color and scale. The evolution from quiet structure to exuberant freedom mirrored a traveler’s gradual transformation, a visual metaphor for discovery and self-expression.
By the finale, de Vincenzo leaned into the full vibrancy of Etro’s DNA. Furry coats, ruffled party dresses, feathery skirts, golden fringes, and cascades of sequins glimmered under the runway lights. Accessories expanded the narrative: embroidered pouches, velvet stiletto sandals with sculptural metal buckles, and suede mules created with Birkenstock balanced glamour with grounded practicality. “This is a brand founded on escapism,” the designer said. “You belong to our world if you like the idea of going somewhere else.” The Etro Fall 2026 collection proved that journey is ongoing, taking the house’s bohemian luxury further while keeping its spirit intact.
