Marco De Vincenzo loves a good metaphor. He described his latest collection as a “wave” moving between strict tailoring and total explosion. In his view, Etro is like an endless circle that keeps feeding off its own decorative history without ever getting bored.

The show started out fairly polished. There were menswear-inspired looks with a bit of a pirate vibe—think scarves threaded through the backs of jackets and peacoats with corset-style inserts. De Vincenzo is clearly comfortable with Etro’s maximalist roots now, but he kept things under control at first, using soft, dusty autumn colors.

As the show went on, things got a bit wilder. The clothes became tighter and more transparent, and “fur” pieces started appearing in loud patterns and colors. Interestingly, these weren’t real furs at all, but complex wool designs. De Vincenzo loved the effect, noting that because the wool wasn’t trying to perfectly mimic real animal pelts, it felt even more rebellious and cool.

By the end, the show was a full-on party. The runway turned into a fantasy world of wool crochet, featuring handmade dresses covered in 3D-embroidered exotic animals. In De Vincenzo’s world, decoration doesn’t just sit there—it grows and takes over. He’s stopped fighting the brand’s over-the-top reputation and started having fun with it. The final looks, packed with sequins and feathers, felt joyful and instinctual—perfect for any upcoming red carpets.
