“There's often been a tension in Kean's collections between the riotous opulence of the colors and patterns and the somewhat uptight tailoring. Here, the Etro dandy had relaxed. There were still plenty of suits, but uptight was upended by crumpled linen and shiny silk. Suit trousers might be cargo pants…. The Etro buccaneer wore his gorgeous silk shirts unbuttoned to the waist, unless they came with a broderie anglaise-trimmed placket, in which case there wasn't anything to button.”

“There is no fear of color in the Etro canon, and no fear of mixing patterns like stripes, checks and the company's signature paisleys. The paisley print appears not just on scarves and ties but also on handbags, shoes and home furnishings…..”

“She's never met a racy print she didn't like, and as a child, Veronica Etro pasted together collages of the rich paisleys and striped fabrics for which her family's textile and fashion company is famed…. With an astute eye and a brash, confident approach, Etro knows her way around a pattern”

“Anyone who thought Veronica Etro was incapable of toning down her overquirked wanderlust was in for a pleasant surprise. Fresh and simple by Etro standards … such a sporty moment didn't last long, since Etro switched gears to her beloved paisley and ethnic mode.”
