Etro Resort 2026: A Bohemian Frequency in Full Bloom

Etro’s Resort 2026 collection unfolds like a visual symphony — bold, layered, and always in motion. Drawing on a rich mix of textures, prints, and silhouettes, it channels the free-spirited energy of 1970s Woodstock with a modern, jet-set twist. Billowing chiffons, intricate lace, and overprinted brocades dance together in a celebration of eclecticism, while earthy tones and animalistic flourishes ground the fantasy. At the heart of it all is Marco De Vincenzo, who continues to steer the house into new creative territory, embracing Etro’s bohemian DNA while exploring a more fluid, intuitive rhythm. “Orchestrating a potential cacophony isn’t easy,” he admits but with Resort 2026, he makes it look effortless.

This latest collection carries the ethos of the “Etro wanderer” — a figure both rooted in intuition and stirred by the swirl of global influences. There’s a free-spirited, feminine power in these looks, like a Woodstock muse reimagined through a surrealist, kinetic lens. Ruching and flouncing abound in floor-length dresses that ripple with energy. One look features a vibrant emerald chiffon layered gown, paired unexpectedly with a deep mahogany bomber, a playful tension of softness and structure. A bold embossed leather belt cinches the waist, recalling the tactile richness of 1970s craft.

In another standout look, a scarlet off-shoulder gown erupts with lace and a dramatic rosette. The sheer fabric billows with poetic motion while grounded by a textured belt, anchoring the look in Etro’s signature earthy elegance. De Vincenzo never lets romance float too far into fantasy instead, he adds weight with rustic, tactile accessories.

Etro’s “auto-generative” codes — paisley, flora, fauna, and layered textiles are alive and well, but De Vincenzo’s innovation lies in how subtly he recalibrates them. Botanical motifs nearly vanish into tone-on-tone overlays, while overprinted nylon brocade swirls gently atop airy chiffons. Rather than referencing specific cultures for decades, the collection reads as a unified expression of aesthetic wanderlust, free from time, yet steeped in memory.

One look pairs a ruffled mini dress with sculptural sleeves in citrus paisley print, styled with a commanding medallion belt and a raffia tote. It’s kinetic, irreverent, and grounded embodying De Vincenzo’s knack for balancing flamboyance with restraint. “I’m careful not to be overly didactic,” he says. Instead, he allows the garments to whisper layered stories rather than shout singular references.

Menswear this season acts as a soft echo of the women’s line — quieter, more linear, but still unmistakably Etro. De Vincenzo offers lean jacquard-woven suiting, botanical crochet, and tailored denim, all treated with subdued elegance. A pajama set in flowing floral silk is a subtle wink to the house’s decorative DNA, executed with a whisper rather than a roar.

While the women’s pieces pirouette across eras and textures, menswear treads a sleeker, more minimalist path. Yet, both sides of the collection feel cohesive, two notes in the same visual melody.

In just three years at the helm, Marco De Vincenzo has tuned Etro into a different frequency, not one of quiet revolution, but of intelligent evolution. Resort 2026 is neither ornamental nostalgia nor modernist reduction. It’s intuitive, instinctive, and confident in its refusal to settle into one time or place.

Etro, under De Vincenzo, is a living archive — constantly rewriting itself, yet always unmistakably its own.
