RUNWAY: Etro FW16

Everyone nowadays exaggerates a little bit. When someone bemoans they had the worst day ever, it likely was not the worst day ever. In fashion terms, exaggeration can take many forms. At Etro's FW16 show, exaggeration came in the form of decoration. Cableknit sweaters had one, very large cable down the middle. Velvet was high pile. Fur coats were extra fuzzy. Evening jackets glistened. Nothing was obtuse, instead the effect was quite nice. It made the collection a bit dynamic and expanded the label's notoriety as the go-to for paisley shirts.
