The Etro fashion house proposes for the fall winter collection 2010/2011 the ethnical details that have always characterized it. The elegant and sensual items embrace the feminine silhouettes enhancing a kind of beauty that recalls the oriental shapes with their prints and colours. Paisley prints a part, the wintry collection is enchanting us with its arabesque motifs and floral prints on fabrics like jersey, silk and velvet.
The Etro dresses, created with the high tailoring of the fashion house, suit with refined uniqueness. Dark shades of black and purple are paired with red and gold. While cuts fall gently on the body embracing it and enhancing the shapes.
The beauty of the brocade fabric brighten up blazers and Etro coats, creating a charming and exotic effect and emphasizing the waist. They are just perfect for both day and night, maybe paired with classic slim pants made of lurex wool.

It seems there has been an influx of Victorian-era inspired shoes recently, and these Etro Silk Satin Brocade Studded Boots are definitely some of the more interesting ones!

We like these ankle boots because their shape is very unique. It’s somewhat of a combination of a Victorian-style heel and a modern day ankle bootie.

However, the best part about these heels is the design on the silk. It’s beautiful and interesting, and clearly looks like a work of art. I love the juxtaposition of the different fabric and design at the toe as well. The tassel in the front of the heel is also a beautiful ending touch. These shoes might be better inside of a museum than on an actual pair of feet– I wouldn’t want to ruin them by wearing them!
