Etro originated as a textile firm in 1968, and since the 1980s has become well-known for its paisley prints. Veronica Etro, the label’s women’s wear designer since 2000, continually updates this signature motif by rendering the paisley in unconventional ways. For this dress, she used nylon Lurex to create an exotic spiral of shimmering golden orange and abstracted paisley.
