ETRO Menswear Spring Summer Collection 2012
Menswear Spring Summer 2012 Collection is Combinations of colours and
materials: sailors, playboys and intellectuals all meet up amidst the
colours and fragrances of Provence, and allow themselves to be lulled by
their memories. Bright, lively, energetic colours invade the fabrics,
covering the prints, and blending in with the weaves with sudden bursts
of cheerfulness. The silhouettes are slim and impeccable, the sartorial
cut of the jackets and outfits is evident; the fabrics are charged with
light, monochromatic in the hues of summer fruits or printed in
brilliant shades. The contrasting prints on the collars of the shirts
feature alongside jackets with precious lapels, with contrasting piping.
The sporty jackets are lined with Paisley prints, the coloured pocket
handkerchiefs peek out from the pockets. Marine winds call for light
shoes, colourful pullovers worn over the shoulders and impalpapble
trench coats. The paisley does not play hide and seek, but it shows
itself on the jackets and shirts, and embroiders V-neck sweaters. It is
pure joie de vivre.
Menswear is joie de vivre captured in full, but with an aftertaste of elegant
melancholy. Kean has drawn on constants, the traditional elements of
fine clothing for sources of inspiration, translating them into his
language. And taking in a journey along the Mediterranean coast on the
way, allowing himself to be enveloped by the indefinable feelings that
seascapes transmit. A walk along the Cote d’Azur, where the densities of
the blue provide a backdrop for the exuberance of orange, lavender and
strawberry, whilst the calm of earthy colours fades down to sand. In an
intimate climate pervaded by cheerful hints, the volumes are generous,
the light fabrics welcome the slightest breeze and the colours are
saturated. The shirts in three fabrics alternate with polo shirts with
drop shoulders, and are worn with constructed, sartorial jackets without
excessive precision. The Paisley is light, barely there in the
ton-sur-ton sweaters, or else it makes a striking appearance in its more
dazzling hues for outfits, jackets and trousers. source
