Brian Atwood to launch lower-priced line

Shoe designer Brian Atwood closed a deal with the Jones Apparel Group to launch a contemporary footwear and accessories collection. The line will go by the name of B Brian Atwood and will feature shoes priced between $200 and $400, as well as boots around $600.

"I look forward to translating my design aesthetic and guarantee of high-quality, sexy footwear for a larger audience," Atwood said in a release. 

The shoe line will be available in select department stores as of fall next year. For the handbags and jewelry we'll have to wait until 2012.
