RUNWAY: Billy Reid FW15

Textures from fur, suede and chunky knits gave Billy Reid's dynamic Fall/Winter 2015 collection an air of ease and luxury. The collection relied on oversized and roomy proportions to lay the layers on thick, apropos since New York is seeing its coldest temperatures in two decades. Relaxed tailoring was seen on an ombre patchwork jacket, which was refined and elegant though the description may indicate otherwise, while mixed media knits and coats were home-y and a nod to Reid's country bumpkin who seems to have graduated to city life. Belted trenches in suede and fur-trimmed vests looked expensive and chic while a plethora of knits, cableknit, patterened and the like, offered comfort and easy layering options.
