Whirlpool & Antonio Berardi revealed the prototype for a bespoke Limited Edition of Whirlpool’s Prêt-à-porter clothes revitalizer, which will be sold in exclusive, high-end stores from the autumn 2006.

Inspired by the unique product benefits of Whirlpool’s Prêt-à-porter, that it takes care of our most treasured items of clothing, Antonio Berardi has designed his own customized unit, giving it the ultimate fashion industry seal of approval by adding his own label.

Resembling a treasure trove, the Berardi Limited Edition Prêt-à-porter has taken product design to a new level. Finished in elegant, dark blue leather with striking stud detail, metallic finishing and brand new silver ‘bag’, the unit is a first for Whirlpool, a company best known for their innovative home appliances.

Whirlpool’s Prêt-à-porter clothes refresher is the ideal product for people who love fashion and want to take care of their most favourite clothes or ‘special pieces’. Perfectly combining the unique functionality of the product with bespoke craftsmanship and finishing, Berardi has added his own distinct style so now the Prêt-à-porter itself becomes a ‘special piece’.
