BEAUTY: Clothing--Etro

Kean Etro has always had the heart of a mystic and the spirit of a hippie; he has been revealing that for many seasons now (browse through past collections here) and this SS '22 collection at Milano Moda Uomo was another glimpse into his world.

This season, the Etro man strode down a disused railway line in Milan, dressed in classic Etro paisley and floral combinations, some amazing metallicized canvas trousers in jewel tones, and eye-popping ombréd orange and green hues on suits. But the fact that he was traversing the rail sleepers carrying rolled up sleeping mats and canteens suggested nomadism and hitching a freight car to journey to places unknown. It was a typically romantic idea from Kean Etro and one that is suffused with a richness of texture and pattern. In fact, the destination of some of these models could very well be the Southwestern United States...many pieces sported beautiful patterns reminiscent of Native tribes from that area.
