We all heard of him, seen his shoes walk down red carpets and on the silver screens but who is Brian Atwood. 

Atwood got his first taste of fashion as a boy while he watched his mother pick out her clothes every day. When older he studied art and architecture at University of Illinois and continued his education as a clothing designer at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Lucky for him and his good looks and charming personality he managed to land a job as a model and with that he made his first connections inside the fashion world. During his modeling years Brian managed to make ties with one of the most relevent designers of our time, Gianni Versace. I?n 1996 He was hired as the designer of Versace’s ready-to-wear line. After years of grooming his skills,finally in 2001, Brian Atwood shoes label was created.
