| Billy Ried's shop on Bond Street |
There are many talented artists and craftsmen throughout the South (see this post) and more than a few fashion designers standing out in NYC. Billy Reid has been creating beautiful clothing for years. Though he left New York after 9/11, Billy returned in 2008 opening his flagship store in NoHo. I was a part of the opening production, working for Billy for a brief stent between jobs. Though a short time, we had the best time wearing beautiful things, meeting great people, sipping bourbon and apple cider while cleaning up, and dancing to fabulous music in the shop. Texas native Lela Rose is also turning heads with her signature and wedding collections. She also has a line for PayLess. And, of course, Wes Gordon, originally from Atlanta, has been creating gorgeous things since 2009. More beautiful things 'made by Southern hands!'
