Seeing Red is a Good Thing if it's on the Antonio Berardi Fall Runway. Some Tips on Making the Look Your Own for Less. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG
(Antonio Berardi Fall 2006)
This stunning mix of ruby hues from Antonio Berardi is unusual because designers tend to stay away from mixing and matching reds. What makes it work is that one of the reds is darker - almost a cranberry - and the wide black obi belt visually separates them, drawing attention instead to what the two halves of the outfit have in common. For interesting cuts & shapes a la Antonio, look to indie designers rather than mass chains whose cutthroat pricing precludes any production that's the slightest bit tricky (and therefore costly). Add fun accessories: enormous belt, ladylike gloves & pumps, and a coquettish feathered hairpiece & prepare to shock & awe.
Good options for interpreting an Antonio Berardi look:
"Portal Dress" by Laura Dawson
La Crasia long leather gloves
Wolford sheer tights
Isaac Mizrahi for Target Mary Jane
A dramatic feathered headpiece to top it all off!
