 Menswear Spring Summer 2012 Main 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.source

 Etro’s 2012 spring-summer collection has the rhythm, freshness and all the complexity of jazz. Notes that contrast with one another are grafted onto a seemingly linear and simple base line, creating completely new harmonies. Inspiration drawn from the avant-gardes of the first decades of the twentieth century, namely Futurism and Constructivism, meet with Paisley, pared down to its very essence. Veronica Etro has played around with the idea of composition and decomposition: she has imagined a collection that mainly involves fluid dresses with forms as pure as canvases, which can, however, also be the result of different elements combined together. The waistline is never mapped out, and there are plenty of crossed-over braces and V-necklines, true and false alike. The richness is created by the close-knit dialogue between the prints, obtained with processes inspired by the decoupages of Fortunato Depero which define the silhouette.source
