For Spring/Summer 2026, Etro’s menswear presentation unfolded as a serene odyssey through pattern, texture, and time. The flagship space transformed into a gallery of paisley daydreams — a floor-to-ceiling tapestry of archival motifs reimagined for the modern traveler.
Silhouettes drifted between tailoring and leisure: silk shirts and jackets traced with kaleidoscopic swirls, linen suiting softened by fluid cuts, and bomber jackets shimmering in sage and sky tones. Scarves — knotted at the neck or draped with nonchalance — acted as amulets, anchoring each look in wanderlust.
A palette of sunlit pastels, muted earths, and jewel-bright accents gave the collection its painterly depth. Every piece was layered with meaning: shirts as cartographies, trousers as terrain, outerwear as shelter.
The presentation’s heartbeat came from artist Luca Maleonte, painting Etro’s paisley in real time — a meditative echo of the brand’s fusion of craft and imagination. Here, fashion and art were inseparable, each garment a canvas for movement, memory, and discovery.
