Model-turned-designer Brian Atwood proves he has what it takes to revitalise Swiss luxury house Bally and make it a label to covet.
Not that he's a newcomer to the job - having spent time designing for Versace, Dior and creating his own eponymous line of accessories, Atwood has built a name for himself ever since he stopped treading the catwalks in the 90s.
After two seasons at Bally, he's showing that he also has the talent to bring a traditional leather goods brand bang up to date, expanding Bally's traditional customer base to a younger, more trend-led generation of women.
Our top pick from the Autumn/Winter 08 collections? These calf-length Edde boots.
Skyscraper high (de rigueur this season) buttery soft and the perfect match for pretty much anything. Grab yourself a pair here.
