MILAN, Italy — Grunge is everywhere in Milan at the moment. At Etro, Veronica Etro's stated mission was to bring the catwalk closer to the street. The experiment worked because Etro's bohemian spirit was not lost in the process. It simply took on new, charming shades, partially hidden under raw layers of urban decay. The collection featured the brand's familiar floaty dresses and paisley motifs, worn with moth-eaten maxi-jumpers and long scarves, but it was the boots that created the younger, faster mood.
