Etro Menswear AW12 Collection

Titled The Great Flight: From the Everyday to the Legendary,  Kean Etro is inspired by a journey to rediscover the epic of life.

The catwalk show starts with eveningwear in chromatic black anthracite.

Fabrics are tactile and rich with smooth and devore velvets, brocades, silk, boucle wool, corduroy and feathers.

Reworked tribal prints are made graphic in black and white.

Other prints include paisley in brocades, damasks and devore velvets and stripes and tartan.

Reference to the Greek legend Pegasus are the feathers soaring the sartorial richness to new heights as full jackets....

...embellishments on sweaters ...
.

..as ties...

...as patchwork on waistcoats..

..the front of evening dressshirts ...

...plus accessories such as hats, shoes and pocket handkerchiefs.

The colour palette moves away from monochrome to browns and burnt sienna..

... and  brightens with various shades of oranges...

...rich reds..

....to royal blues and burgundies...

..... and ending in regal emerald green

A truly opulent collection.   For more images go to their website: www.etro.com
