There was a strict sensuality to Antonio Berardi’s collection. He toyed with racy details — such as corset-style lacing, buckles and neck collars — but worked them in a sleek, understated way.
Among the standouts was a dress with a scarlet velvet bodice and corset lacing at each shoulder to reveal a glimpse of the skin. And a trenchcoat that was fashioned to hug the body’s curves had a series of buckled belts at the waist and one across the neckline.
As is Berardi’s signature, the tailored elements — a velvet pencil skirt suit, a shiny, rubberized lace coat — contrasted with more fluid looks. Among them was a camisole dress with tiered chiffon skirts in deep red, or a diaphanous black dress with dramatic, fluttering skirts and a lace bodice, cinched with a studded belt.
