Have you ever seen a more stylish skateboarder on Venice Beach? A sea breeze of beachside glamour blew through the mind of Veronica Etro as she presented her SS19 collection during Milan Fashion Week.
She was inspired by coastal cultures from around the world – the bohemians of California, the tropical landscape of Hawaii and the modern lifestyle of Japan – and gave them an Etro spin.
The colour palette was as diverse as the places of influence with an Aloha riot of pale citrus hues – lime, lemon, tangerine and grapefruit – that were watered down with black, white and cream. Prints were a fascinating array of Paisley motifs, Matisse-inspired cut-outs, Japanese calligraphy and of course floral.
Effortless dressing does not mean undone and here we saw workwear inspired jeans and long robes in patterned jacquard denim, slim-fitting knit suits and mini dresses among the selection of wetsuits. The loose silhouettes maintained elements of structure like the Judo style jackets that were belted at the waist with long cotton bows or the wide leg trousers that reflected 1970’s glamour.
Etro is another brand this season to showcase a strong emphasis on accessories and for your next sunny getaway she has equipped you with wide brimmed cotton hats finished with a net, scuba booties, jewellery inspired by the sea like crystal encrusted seashells and the brand’s iconic rainbow bag that comes embroidered with braided straps.
Now you can ride the wave into your dream vacation in truly effortless style.
