NEW YORK, Sep 10, 2012/ — Billy Reid, who unveiled his Spring/Summer 2013 collection last Friday, Sep 7th at the Eyebeam proposed double breasted linen suits, lightweight shirting, and relaxed pants for the upcoming season.

Talking about his collection which also explained how he arrived on the new silhouettes, he said, “Our Influence this season was to take Spring/ Summer fabrications and present them in a tailored manner.”

The quality of the tailoring and ease of the fabrics created looks that were “in one word: chic” explained Reid.

For women a book by Charles Brittin, “West and South”, inspired Reid to blend his Southern heritage with an elevated sense of sophistication.
