Designs on the Balmoral

A TOP fashion designer has named a Capital landmark as one of his favourite places.

Antonio Berardi, who has worked with the likes of Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kylie Minogue, said the Balmoral Hotel made him feel “at home”.

He said: “Luxurious and contemporary at its finest. I love ornate and romantic places, and this hotel always makes me feel at home.”

Berardi, who attended St Martin’s College, was awarded Dress of the Year by Harper’s Bazaar in 2009 for a monochrome dress worn by Gwyneth Paltrow.
