Fashion, innovation, and a great artistic balance of form and function are what Bernardo has stood for since architect Bernard Rudofsky’s first collection in 1946.  Credited with the invention of women’s modern-day sandals.  Rudofsky’s transcendent, ground-breaking designs merged style and elegance while freeing the foot.  In Spring 2011 a select group of the vintage styles were re-issued and offered at an exclusive collection of boutiques and stores.  The collection has made quite a splash showing up in Elle, Harper's Bazaar, and Vogue magazines.
