About Alexander Berardi:
Alexander Berardi, 23, was born and raised in Hurley, NY. Much like his personal style, his childhood home, built in the 1700’s was timeless and classic, an inspiration that he still draws upon today for his designs.
Cutting his teeth with an apprenticeship with Kenneth Cole while taking classes at Parsons, Berardi decided to try his luck and create his own company before even graduating. He began sketching several designs and came up with a dress that he felt was worthy of production.
He went up and down 38th Street in the heart of New York’s garment district to find a pattern maker willing to take on a new unknown designer. After much searching, he found one and House of Berardi was born.
Kenneth Cole, who describes Berardi as “the champion of giving back,” gave him a wealth of knowledge not only about the industry itself, but how to run a long-lasting tremendously successful business while still remaining true to your self – a philosophy that House of Berardi strives to follow today.
Alexander Berardi is sold at Debut and Factoriem in New York City.
