MILAN, Jan 19, 2007/ FW/ --- If during the first two days of the Milan Menswear season designers were declaring the death of metrosexuality, Etro begged to differ and announced that the metrosexual is alive and well.

On a tape measure runway, Etro opened with a pinstriped suit matched with a solid burgundy cardigan and striped shirt and striped tie. Tie-dyed vests and tie-dyed shirts were accessorized with a pumpkin yellow floppy hat.

And if it not yet whimsical enough for you, there is the tie-dyed shirt, striped tie matched with a horizontal striped vest. At least, the coat and trousers are solid.

Doodles on white shirt, tie-dyed outer coat, fur-lined hoods and winter jackets with op-art or American quilt style lining – the whole collection is colorful and bright!

Trousers are slim, shoulders are rounded and the man can be in the city or in the country, but he will be stand out no matter where he is.

Yet, amidst this seeming whimsical collection, the real beauty is in the new inventive fabric that Etro is proposing.
