PROTECTIVE MEASURES
London: Like many designers these past few weeks, Antonio Berardi chose light, lace, shimmer and a masculine versus feminine presentation of hourglass dresses and trouser suits. Despite adhering to this now well-known direction for Spring, the designer managed to stand out via careful details; leather corsets, beaded breastplates, train hems and burnout velvet panels. Unexpected touches of crimson, emerald green and mint brought a modern feeling to the collection, boldly tempering the floating champagne and blush colored frocks and lending a graphic line to slouchy trousers. Protection was a theme for S/S 12 as well, communicated through molded leather shrugs, padded shoulders and armor-like beading, defensive measures deftly played against sheer chiffon and fluid silk. —Nina Stotler
