Antonio Berardi teams up with Rupert Sanderson, collaborating for a capsule shoe collection exclusive to Net-a-Porter.
British shoemaker Rupert Sanderson and luxury womenswear designer Antonio Berardi have teamed up for an exclusive capsule collection showcasing three styles of shoes.
Marrying both Sanderson’s “less is more” philosophy and Antonio Berardi’s English tradition and injection of Italian expressiveness, the collaborative collection offers a sophisticated and striking fusion of these two British designers.
Shoes that do all the talking, the collection presents three styles of fully embroidered ankle strap combos, embellished with crystal baguettes, PVC and matte brass chains all paired on a poker straight sky high heel.
The perfect pairing to your LBD, the party season collection oozes opulence and effortless elegance whilst also dressing up a pair of skinny jeans for an equally powering look.
“Spectacular! This is a collection of the most stunning evening shoes you are ever likely to see. The enjoyment of working with Antonio is that it was a true collaboration – it felt like a meeting of cultures. There is a true glamour to Antonio’s work.” – Rupert Sanderson
“Thanks to Rupert, the idea was to create a small evening shoe collection of super chic, sexy and iconic pieces that will stand the test of time to compliment my collection. Something completely different and exciting. It has been amazing to work with Rupert on this collection.” – Antonio Berardi.
With deep-rooted Italian culture, Antonio Berardi was born in the UK to Sicilian parents whilst learning his craft at London’s prestigious Central St. Martin’s College of Art and Design whilst working as John Galliano’s assistant. With his roots firmly in Britain although showing in Paris, Berardi expresses a rich Italian culture throughout his collection.
Having established his company in 2001 after working for Sergio Rossi and Bruno Magli, Sanderson appreciates simplicity in footwear form and focuses on the line, volume and material. Inspired by sumptuous buttery soft leathers and elegant shapes.
The exclusive collection for Net-a-Porter offers an elegant and sophisticated collection that will transform your party wardrobe into a theatrical and glittering look.
The Rupert Sanderson for Antonio Berardi capsule collection will be available to purchase exclusively through Net-a-Porter.
