If more of the "real men" models at the Etro Spring 2017 menswear runway had walked alongside their dog it would have made for a better show. There is nothing original or interesting about using non-professional models. It's been done a lot. And for the men who walked barefoot - gross.

What about the collection? Ikat and moire patterns ruled, with the occasional, yet cleverly subtle use of Etro's signature paisley. Etro continued its departure from the skinny pant - kudos to them for that. Short robes, blazers and suits made their way through the show with Etro's elegant and stylish sartorial stamp.
