For Autumn Winter 2008-09 Etro presented a green collection in the sense of eco-consciousness.
The statement and vision were made explicitly clear as designer Kean Etro sent models out on a dirt trail of a runway lined with lush green hedges.
The eco conscious collection included images of onions and pears on shirts, and prints of leaves on fabrics. On paper it may seem like it could go kitchy and be over played. On the runway, or dirtway, it came across in well tailored looks in the form of vests, overcoats and well-cut trousers.
Prints were a big factor, and Etro’s seemed easy to wear without shouting at your face. Printed paisley trousers, cut slim but not tight, mixed with classic glen plaid double breasted blazers, cut high echoing the Thom Browne school of thought.
Chunky knits in the form of jackets and cardigans seemed cozy and comfortable. Velvet blazers came with piping in colors of pumpkin orange, yellow squash and chocolate brown.
MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
