Girl-about-town Holly Dunlap has always been nicknamed Hollywould by her friends, as in "Holly would do it." With the launch of her successful shoe line, she definitely has done it. Dunlap began her fashion career as an intern for designer Carolyne Roehm. Instead of a salary, she was paid in "the next best thing"-Manolo Blahnik sandals. After designing clothes for Christian Lacroix and Vivienne Westwood and heading up Lilly Pulitzer, she turned her attention to creating her own sexy footwear. "It's all about the shoes," she says. And with Hollywould's designs - feminine, alluring, fun and luxurious - it most certainly is.
