Wolford

During the premiere of Pablo Larraín’s film Maria at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, the Etro x Wolford collaboration—initially unveiled during the FW24 runway show—was launched. Eva Herzigová wore an ETRO x WOLFORD “Paisley Tattoo” jacquard jersey jumpsuit paired with a draped black silk jersey bodysuit featuring a crossover neckline and back tail. A Greco-Roman-inspired mask pendant necklace and a jeweled gourmette belt with stylized flowers completed the look. #Etro #wolford #EtroXWolford #BiennaleCinema2024 #Venezia81
