The collection features mountain hues of sky, land and snow, from the Royal Blue of Messner`s peaks to the creamy white of a six a.m. milking.

The natural mantle of cow hide becomes a motif that is carefully applied to highlight the silouettes and shapes of jackets and trousers; what remains is interpreted in a respectful, attentive way in patches, edging, martingales, collars and applications that enhance jackets, coats and blousons.



etro-fw11-12-9



Earthy wools in greens and browns are soft and teasled. They are used to weave jackets of a distinctly Tyrolean flavour full of unusual details, such as the coin-buttons that become cufflinks used for closing the lapels, rock and straw martingales that hug waistlines, and warm curly collars that protect against the cold.



etro-fw11-12-99



Mammoth and dinosaur leathers, like a fossil preserved in the snow, make an appearance on jackets with a powerful, robust look, on the slopes of the Magic Mountains of Thomas Mann.



etro-fw11-12-999



Suits in earth-colour jumbo corduroy, such as the "Sunday Suit" for wearing to the village fete with pride, blend Tyrolean embroidery with Himalayan folklore in icy white paisley.



etro-fw11-12-99999



When evening comes, the Paisley finds a golden rain on night-black jackets, suits in smooth velvet and corduroy, whilst the tuxedo is made still more sophisticated with collar details in fur.
