Antonio Berardi Fashion for Women

William Shakespeare's compellingly poisonous catalyst for tragedy, Lady Macbeth, was the jumping off point for Antonio Berardi this season. A covered up collection charged with destruction spurred the designer to contemplate the dress of that period, evidenced here in the plumage and pageantry of this turtleneck jumper. Woven from wool and cashmere, the chunky ribbed weave is prised apart with a span of undulating pleats at the hem.Antonio Berardi knitted wool and cashmere blend jumperSlips onTurtle neck, dropped shoulder, long sleeves, oversized, cutout detail at front, chunky ribbed knit, flared hem at front, ribbed trims90% virgin wool, 10% cashmereHand washTrue to sizeSize 8: Length 33"Model is 5ft 10" and wears a size 8Made in Italy
