Etro Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear
Furs have been on every catwalk this season, and Etro sent out some of the best yet. The show opened with a shaggy, majestic wool fur coat, in black and white bold stripes, draped nonchalantly over slouchy Paisley-printed trousers and a knitted waistcoat. The look carried impact and ease, setting the tone for a collection that embraced restraint, yet retained Etro’s flair for dense, ornate prints.
The set was an artwork by Numero Cromatico, commissioned by creative director Marco De Vincenzo—a sweeping curtain onto which primitive, fantastical bestiary was represented, “as if born out of primordial matter,” he said. This backdrop hinted at the collection’s emphasis on the tangible, tactile nature of fabrics and textures; while silhouettes remained sleek and uncomplicated, with a focus on wearable daywear, the surfaces were lush, thick, and finished with glossy or rubberized treatments.
“Etro’s heritage is so rich that it feels like a constantly self-renewing force,” said De Vincenzo. Though he has an extensive archive at his disposal, each season he revisits, reinterprets, and refines patterns and motifs—sometimes introducing entirely new ones. For this collection, he collaborated with Korean artist Maria Jeon on a series of embroideries inspired by fantastical zoology. Elsewhere, botanical prints were magnified and abstracted, overprinted onto ribbed wool on fluid dresses with asymmetrical handkerchief hems or printed onto airy organza tunics and sweeping, elongated ’70s-inspired dusters. Setting aside the effervescence of past seasons, the collection focused on a quieter, less exuberant version of Etro.
