Southern style designer launches Web site
January 8, 2008
Billy Reid, an award-winning clothing designer, has launched a Web site, offering luxurious men’s and women’s clothing.
With his studio and flagship store based in Florence, Ala., and retail outlets in Houston, Dallas and Charlotte, N.C., Reid’s style is described in a news release as “Southern sophistication.” Crocodile and calfskin shoes are made in Italy; a plaid coat with leather panels is accented with horn buttons. The designer’s pieces have been featured in The New York Times Style Magazine and GQ.

While I grew up in small-town Kentucky I’ve always been fascinated with the cosmopolitan world of high fashion. On the other hand, I love a bargain and the thrill of shopping for just the right piece.
I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and since 2002 I’ve written a column for the Lexington Herald-Leader about shopping, beauty and fashion. During that time I’ve interviewed everyone from designers to boutique owners about trends and style. And I’m still forever searching for the next big sale.
