Full of paisley and jewel-toned fabrics, the Etro Spring 2013 Menswear collection is a stunning, culture-rich series. These pajama-like pantsuits exude comfort and luxury that can go from day to night with a quick change in shoes.
The great Elle Woods claimed no one looks good in paisley, but apparently someone forgot to mention that to Kean Etro -- who is fond of this Kashmiri motif. The paisley pattern has been integrated into everything from pants, jackets and jumpsuits, and it looks amazing. To freshen up this age-old pattern, the stimulating print has been arranged into a ombre-style design where the shapes fade into the tailored hemlines.
The models appear to have emerged straight out of the Sahara dessert, clad in turban-esque wraps and breezy bottoms. Inspired by what appears to be the mysterious Middle East, the Etro Spring 2013 Menswear collection is certainly vibrant and eye-catching.
