ETRO

Menswear Autumn Winter Collection 2012/13

“I was born free,
free as the eagle that flies, over the great blue sky,
a light wind touches its face, I will be free.”
Dion Panteah

THE GREAT FLIGHT:
FROM THE EVERYDAY TO THE LEGENDARY

For the next winter Kean takes us on a journey to rediscover the epic of life. The man, inspired by Pegasus, wears feathers and takes flight. Leaving behind the known world, he chooses the realm of the fantastic and the lightness of being. He does it through a series of symbols which translates into a warm and sumptuous proposal, as consoling and redeeming as a cup of hot chocolate under a blanket.

THE CHARACTER: Epic. Courageous and rich.
THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN: Articulate and full of the detailing
and meticulousness of Haute Couture. Or, rather, of Alta Costura,
because in Spanish it suggests a more noble bearing, like that of a knight.
THE SUGGESTIONS: Rediscovering the known.
The reference to Pegasus, the desire to soar,
to think of the ceremony as the return of a value
and a state of mind suitable for any hour of the day.
THE MATERIALS AND THE FINISHINGS: Feathers,
feathers also in disciplined patchworks, and then damask, brocade,
bouclé wool, smooth velvets and devorè, double jacquard,
needle punch, silk, flocked fabrics, felted mohair.
THE VOLUMES: Classic, traditional.
THE COLOURS: The nocturnals in all possible lustres and opaques,
rust, orange and red, peacock, emerald.
THE PRINTS: Reworked tribals made graphic by black and white,
Paisley, stripes, tapestry effect.
THE SHOES: Feather intarsia also for the
classic lace-ups, house slippers.
THE BAGS: Travel bags in printed fabric with feather intarsia.
