Last November’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner was Alabama’s own Billy Reid, so, predictably, the expectations were sky high for the young designer’s Fall/Winter collection. Reid commented about his preparation for the show that he wanted everything to “look perfect.” And while that superlative is certainly in the eye of the beholder, his collection has some notable components. His menswear is not all slim-cut and workwear-inspired like many contemporary mens items, as evidenced in some of his fits. Generously cut chinos and double-breasted jackets that hit below the hips are examples of expressing variety in length and width. Layers also play a part in the Reid look, as we see henley/light jacket/blazer and crew neck/high collar jacket/overcoat combinations. If this showing is an indication of what won the designer his funds, than Vogue should be proud of its choice, as the results are wearable examples of a fully-conceived, proper line.
