Ex-model Brian Atwood started off designing Versace's footwear before deciding to branch out on his own in 2001. His label is now a firm favorite with fashion savvy shoe-lovers including Hollywood stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman and Madonna. Atwood's recognizable brand of statement-making chic is infused in all his work, from the must-have suede slouchy boots and satin slingbacks to the fabulously on-trend wooden heels.
