A vivid image of the Jazz Age, that pre-Depression moment of unholy hedonism and drunken frolics, is hopped-up flappers plunging into the fountain outside the Plaza hotel in New York.

Etro | Menswear Fall 2011

The latest menswear collection at Etro’s show,  presented the furry Friesian-patterned shoes, and indeed a bovine aspect to the whole collection, evidenced mostly in the brown shades that dominated.
Splendid coats and vests and every detail appeared on clothes cut from the kind of traditional fabrics that would have dressed climbers in a more gentlemanly era. They also underscored the fairy-tale quality that makes Etro a fashion story that is enduringly, appealingly out of time. Here are my favorite clothes from the Fall 2011 collection!
