Brian Atwood today announced that he will collaborate with Jones Apparel Group to create B Brian Atwood, a new footwear and accessory line that will be the contemporary counterpart to Brian Atwood's high-end, luxury shoe business.
B Brian Atwood will be sold in better department stores and specialty retailers beginning in fall 2011, followed by the launches of B Brian Atwood handbags and jewelry slated for 2012. Footwear under the B Brian Atwood brand will retail for $200 to $400 for core items and up to $600 for boots.
I was excited when I first heard the news—Atwood is a celebrity fave and his stunning creations are seen all over the red carpet—but the price range is still out of reach. For me, at least. Oh well!
