Brooke Atwood

M.A., fashion, 2010

Brooke Atwood launched her eponymous fashion brand in Savannah, Georgia, with a collection of high fashion leather T-shirts. She has since incorporated a range of separates, outerwear and accessories into her seasonal womenswear line. Largely inspired by abstract art and Southern style, Atwood frequently uses a Renaissance-era quilting technique known as trapunto to add layers and dimension to her designs. Her strong silhouettes are rooted in versatility, and her collections often include a mix of floral and graphic prints paired with edgy fringe and contrast stitch details.
