Etro spring collection inspired by the orient

Veronica Etro’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection presented at Milan Fashion Week was inspired by the orient. Flowers were also a central theme over at Etro, where the collection seemed to conjure up a garden of Eden, with earthy colour tones brightened by large hand-painted prints of birds of paradise, butterflies and flamingos. Designer Veronica Etro drew on the Oriental influence which has become a regular theme this fashion week, with a modern take on the kimono with short jackets, cropped wide-legged judo trousers and soft, pyjama-style suits.
