Antonio Berardi S/S 2010

Antonio Berardi brings sexy back to London. Italian-British designer Antonio Berardi made his return back home to London and presented a collection that was completely sexy. He definitely knows how to turn up the heat with his signature sexy Italian style. Educated at the local Central Saint Martins and working with legendary British designer John Galliano, he has certainly transformed himself into one of the most important fashion forces in the industry today. He showed his signature style with his short structured body conscious dresses with the built in bra tops that came in black, nude and cream. There was also some immense Japanese influence seen throughout the collection in the Japanese-style folds in some dresses and the kimono style shoulders on the jackets and cocktail pieces. The character for each look was ultra sexy with form fitting dresses that mostly came in nude and cream giving off the impression of nudity. Padding was used on the hips of some dresses giving the illusion of an accentuated hourglass curved hip. Antonio Berardi has brought us his signature style and added a hint of Japanese influence to give us a seductive and pleasant collection.

The event was held at the beautiful historic St. Mark’s church on North Audley Street in Mayfair, the Westminster area of London. The church set the sentiment for the show with guests sitting in the traditional church pews facing towards aisle, that had incredible marble floors. Model Alla Kostromicheva opened the show in a cream colored tailored skirt suit that was paired with a nude crystal embellished boned corset. He showed his great love for short tight dress displaying the Japanese style pieces that had ornate origami folds at the waist and the typical Berardi style body conscious dress with a built in bra top that came in cream, nude and black. A splash of crystal embellishments were seen on the corset tops adding a glitzy sensation.

Adored pieces in this collection were the gorgeously tailored kimono style silk jackets that came in tomato red and blue. Other admired pieces were the Berardi signature style body conscious dresses with the sexy bustier bodice.

Antonio Berardi has displayed a wonderful collection that shows his great skills and talent. There was the signature sexy Italian style with a Parisian touch was greatly admired by everyone. The Antonio Berardi women will always be sexy but this time she had a hint of British glamour and elegance. -Brent Billiman, London, England.
