"  Barker, an old and established Northhampton shoemaker, got a shot in the arm a few years back with the help of Derrick and Kirk Miller. The brothers began a new imprint, Barker Black Ltd., using the skills of the Barker craftsmen on modern and edgy styles. It took off; the shoes can be found at some of the most prestigious shops in the world, from 10 Corso Como in Milan, to Bergdorf Goodman in New York, to United Arrows in Tokyo. They&amp;#039;ve also just opened their second stand-alone boutique at 450 N. Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. Like their first shop, in Manhattan&amp;#039;s Nolita neighborhood, Barker Black&amp;#039;s intimate space offers full made-to-measure services, as well as the entire read-to-wear line of shoes. Known for irreverent detailing and skull-and-bones trademark \u2014 hand-tacked into the sole of certain styles \u2014 the shoes are sure to be welcomed by the City of Angels.
