Under the direction of Marco De Vincenzo, ETRO SS26 evolves its recognizable paisley codes into a full-blown maximalist party. The Italian house presented its latest collection at Milan Fashion Week, featuring British-inflected tailoring, and a wandering, romantic spirit through pleated skirts, heraldic cords on knits, and devoré jacquards.

Dense embroideries of fantastical animals and golden fringes animated the runway. Accessories created in collaboration with Birkenstock showcased sturdy boots to suede mules, alongside softly structured handbags, and embroidered pouches. The show unfolded to a live medley by BLUEM, who performed LUNEDI, DOMENICA, GIOVEDI, IL CAVALLO, and CHIAl.

A nod to resurfacing Bohemian trends, the collection brings together embroidered handbags, muted tones, bronze hardware, and plaid patterns against solid leather stretches. Unafraid to mix textures, patterns, and opposing palettes, ETRO circulates eclecticism by adding new to the old.
