ETRO MILAN MENSWEAR SS11 SHOW

Kean Etro’s tree of life is the date palm that gave the inspiration for paisley designs, the very DNA on which the Etro brand is built.

Spring Summer 11 is no exception, strong in terms of design, colour and structure the actual pieces are extremely lightweight. Kean’s wardrobe is composed of ‘leaves, clouds and light’. Almost weightless jackets, georgette shirts with delicate paisley print in the palest pastels.

Ultra light organic cotton polos, elegant shantung silk jackets with tone on tone bark print. Accessories include oversized totes in the softest hides, contrast sneakers and cut off ties. If a paisley ensemble is too much to start with there is a luxurious aray of printed, jacquard and embroidered scvarves and handkerchiefs in a flux of paisley, flowers and fruits to plant the seed….........

This summer menswear collection will be available from Etro, 14 Old Bond Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4PS; 020 7495 5767
