Berardi Fashion Show The Altman Building 135 West 18th Street February 12, 2010 Written and Photographed by Mark Tauriello

The Berardi Winter 2011 collection was a combination of both masculine and feminine design concepts. Tailored suit jackets with tuxedo shirts referenced elements of classic menswear, while velvet pants and button down shirtdresses softened these masculine designs. Quite frankly, it was shocking not to see one of the models slide out onto the runway with a dress shirt and socks like Tom Cruise. Aside from the menswear inspired pieces, Berardi also showed pleated dresses, frills, sequins, and florals, clearing up the confusion that these were not men’s pieces. This collection was so classic, commercial, and disappointing. The most exciting part however was the hair that resembled the hair of the mother from "Carrie", frizzed out, crimped out, and crazy!
