Recently, I've been buying shoes by Brian Atwood. They are shown on quite a few movie stars in the rag mags. Anne Hathaway wore a pair of black, suede open toe pumps with a horizontal black and gold striped heel. They are about 4 or 5 inch heels, and make quite a statement. Of course, I bought them. Two pairs, actually, just in case something happens to one pair. Can you imagine????? I think Brian Atwood originally designed for Bally. I have about four pairs of his shoes, and they are probably the best fitting, and the most comfortable heels.
