The Etro Spring/Summer 2026 collection offered a fearless vision of excess that demanded attention. Three years into his role, the designer has grown more confident in exploring the house’s rich codes.
From the first look, the message was clear. The runway pulsed with ruffles, fringe, metallic studs, and dense embroidery that spoke of exuberance rather than restraint. La Niña, the Neapolitan singer who performed live, amplified the energy; her voice echoed through a set adorned with kilims and hand drums. The music set the pace, but the clothes carried the weight of de Vincenzo’s vision.

The Etro woman was bathed in bold colors and lavish decorations. Maxi skirts slit high at the side walked alongside jeans traced with faint Etro motifs. Metallic brocades shimmered beneath cascades of prints, and heavily adorned, statement-making handbags felt destined to anchor pared-down wardrobes.
The designer leaned into maximalism without apology. His vision thrived on clash and contrast; yet, amid the overload, moments of elegance emerged. A single skirt or a sharply cut jacket proved that restraint could still be found amid extravagance.
De Vincenzo seemed at peace with Etro’s legacy. Rather than diluting its love of ornamentation, he amplified it. The result was not polite fashion, but rather an invitation to embrace loudness, individuality, and risk.
