With a specialty in prints, Etro was well-positioned to take on spring’s ‘70s revival. And this collection, at Milan Fashion Week, had all of the elements -- bohemian maxi-dresses, peasant blouses, jumpsuits and wood platform shoes.

Each piece was a canvas for Etro’s famed textiles, which had a bolder look this season, more akin to something you would expect to see from Diane Von Furstenberg in her 1970s heyday. (Think bright colors, tribal and geometric.)
