Background
Atalanta Weller originates from Gloucestershire, England and studied at the prestigious Cordwainers at the London College of Fashion. She worked with House of Holland, Sinah-Stanic and Gareth Pugh. Before that she also worked for John Richmond, Hugo Boss and Clarks. Her designe signature is very much: "Bold, graphic, retro futurism, with a sexy twist!" Atalanta designs for "the strong, independent thinking woman who likes to look fabulous and feel amazing in what she wears on her feet."
Inspiration
For AW11 Atalanta Weller rightfully claims her place as one of London's most exciting shoe designers.
Weller's A/W11 collection takes inspiration from Ziggy Stardust, Louise Brooks and animal prints, which can be seen throughout the collection. Zig Zags appear by contrast of colour or fabric or used subtly within stitching. With a controlled colour palette of black, brown and leopard print, Weller mixes suede, leather, and patent to produce a tight chic collection keeping her signature wedge and introducing an elegant gold heel.
In addition Atalanta has collaborated with fellow design star Fannie Schiavoni to create the standout limited edition Fanella Boots.
