Veronica Etro returns the house's Iconic paisley to its noble roots. The collection fuses tradition with innovation and history with contemporary desire. A series of unique treatments, from laser-cut patchworks to decorative trompe-l’oeil effects elevate the pattern above its traditional form. Corset details, like intricate lacings and paneling, or tulle intarsias inserted in printed cady stretch dresses. Sensual ruching contours the edges of asymetrical biker jackets or on floor length dresses. Stiffened jackets and coats feature molded bodies. A-line coats and fishtail gowns are flared. Leather peplum belts offer a new form of layering over snug pencil skirts.
