Italian luxury house Etro and Wolford have joined forces merging Italian maximalism with Austrian precision to wrap the body in storytelling. Their new capsule collection is about transformation. Etro's beloved patterns have been reimagined through Wolford's luminous patterns and transparencies. At the heart of the collection are three extraordinary innovations.
The Paisley Tattoo, a technological triumph of Wolford’s revolutionary Sheer Opaque technique, appears to float on the wearer. In black-chocolate and black-gray variations, the pattern becomes a delicate dance for the eyes.
The Paisley Baroque features a three-dimensional design in cream, burgundy, and gray. Woven from Wolford’s Satin de Luxe fabric, it captures light beautifully, making each piece a striking achievement.
But perhaps most audacious is the Metallic Jacquard, where Etro's maximalist DNA truly shines. Here, copper, silver, and gold threads dance against noir backgrounds, creating a luminescence that transforms the simplest movement into a performance of light. Each piece – whether a sinuous bodysuit or a commanding catsuit – becomes a celebration of the body in motion.
Etro, with its rich tapestry of pattern-making since 1968, has found in Wolford not just a collaborator but a coconspirator in pushing the boundaries of what's possible when tradition meets technology. The resulting pieces are sure to captivate wearers in the resort destinations. The new color palette creates garments that tell stories through texture and light.
Available now in both houses' boutiques, on etro.com, wolford.com, and select retailers worldwide, this collection isn't just wearing luxury—it's wearing art, technology, and heritage, all in one seamless embrace.
