The fashion show for the Spring/Summer 2026 women’s collection was presented by creative director Marco de Vincenzo. This was the third time Kaito had attended a fashion show for this brand and the first since becoming its global ambassador!
Kaito appeared at the show wearing a classic yet sophisticated and glamorous burgundy double-breasted jacket from Etro‘s Autumn/Winter 2025 menswear collection, paired with Etro‘s iconic “Paisleyina“, a paisley design created by Kaito himself. The stage for the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection was constructed to reflect a world of ever-evolving beauty, and the music of “La Niña“, with its tense atmosphere and mystical rhythm, added depth. In this fantastical space, Kaito Takahashi exuded even more presence as he exchanged words with celebrities from around the world, celebrating the launch of the new collection and once again demonstrating his boundless professionalism.
Marco de Vincenzo, as creative director, is immersed in the currents of Etro, guiding the brand while allowing himself to be carried away by its trends. Breathing in the rebellious freedom and psychedelic joy that prevailed in the brand’s early days, he silently observes how history takes shape. Everything fits, but there is an emotional freedom, a pure expression, free of any calculation. Studded fringes traverse leather biker jackets and suede coats, beaded fringes reflect the texture of the prints, and metallic jacquards intertwine with rhythmic motifs.
Colour explodes in contrasting ruffles, multicoloured inlays on leather jackets and pictorial motifs that blossom on brocade. Black appears suddenly, intense yet so delicate that it almost seems tangible. This flow materialises in swirling shapes and filigree, like liquid metal, enriched by chameleon-like jewels, laser-cut leather wide-brimmed hats and beaded scarves. Fabric-heeled shoes, eye-catching embroidered straps, tote bags with hanging fringes and soft bags adorned with plant or animal motif charms also enrich the look.
Etro flows, circulating and describing itself, never stopping, moving forward into the future!
