Ads - Part 31

 Brian Atwood

Brian Atwood is an American designer of women's shoes, born in 1967.  First he was a model.  In 1996 he was hired as a designed by Gianni Versace in Milan.  In 2001 he came out with his own line of shoes.  That's him above getting a tan in Mykonos, Greece.

Atwood is gay.  That's him with his husband, Dr. Jake Deutsch.  They currently live in New York.

Atwood loves high heels, and I mean high, like the ones above.  He also loves nude men, and he likes to combine the two in his ads.  This is model Aurelian Muller helping to attract attention to Atwood's 2012 line of shoes.

Here's a black high-heel boot, part of his 2014 collection.

In 2015 he held an event publicizing his book called Pumped, a coffee table book with photos by Tony Duran.  This annoyingly choppy video was released to promote the event.

This is one of the photos in the book (disclosure – it was a bit dark, so I brightened it).

Another photo from the book.  

Yet another photo.  Are we beginning to see a theme, nude men in high heels?

Another nude man from Pumped, holding the shoe instead of wearing it.

A variation on the theme.  Atwood posted this on his Instagram site, with the caption, "Is that a pump in your pants, or are you happy to see me?"

Atwood continues to use the combination of high heels and nude men.  This photo is from 2017.

We close with this quote from Brian Atwood on his Instagram site.
