The skirts. That’s what I fell in love with when I saw the Antonio Berardi Fall 2012 RTW collection. I’m not at all keen on the androgynous hairstyles and sandals that seem reminiscent of gladiator days (Madonna did it better at her SuperBowl halftime show), but I definitely thought that Berardi’s take on pleats was new and interesting.
Berardi exaggerates the pleats, but does so without compromising on the skirt. The skirts are full and the draping of the pleats are wonderfully executed, I love how the fabric moves when the models walk down the runway. That to me, is one of the most important aspects of any piece of clothing. It has to look good when you move – because let’s face it, none of us here live the life of a mannequin.
I’m not too huge a fan of peplum skirts, mostly I think because they seem to exaggerate the thigh area, but Antonio Berardi does it right, with pleats that seem to accentuate the model’s slim waist and don’t seem to protrude out too far. Perhaps I’ll explore that option…
