WE'RE AN AMERICAN _______________

WE'RE AN AMERICAN _________

via Shipley & Halmos
"We’ve been to Philly, DC, Chevy (Chase) and Beverly (Hills). Houston, Austin, Georgetown, and Boston. We’ve been to Seattle, Costa Mesa, Santa Monica and… I guess that’s the best we could do with the rhyming. We never claimed to be on the same level as the Man in Black. Anyway, on a road trip around the US (we also stopped in San Diego and NYC, by the way), we shot a wide range of portraits right off the street. This canvas-bound hardcover book is not about fashion or beauty – it is about capturing the character and individually of our subjects."

The store will serve beverages by Pabst Blue Ribbon and Woodford Reserve as customers are treated to a live performance by The Greg Spradlin Outfit. Known for his authentic and raw guitar playing style, Spradlin’s bluesy Southern rock is the perfect complement to an evening spent in the Billy Reid flagship store.

Shipley & Halmos
Inspired by a summer spent navigating the newer, more safe bike lanes of New York City, Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos have mapped a bike trek tour of the major retailers that carry their brand in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Fashion’s Night Out on September 10. Staring out at downtown boutique, Pas de Deux, Sam and Jeff will participate in a forty minute styling session with customers, and then venture on a progressive bike tour to Barney’s CO-OP in Chelsea and Soho, Odin in Soho, and Bird in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to meet with shoppers and retailers as well as promote alternative forms of eco-conscious transportation. At Bird, Jeff and Sam will participate in a charitable dunk tank contest with Vena Cava at their block party contribution to Fashion’s Night Out. The bicycles will be courtesy of Bowery Lane Bicycles, a purveyor of vintage-inspired bicycles handmade in New York City with American steel, located at 55-59 Chrystie Street. Sam and Jeff will have beers in tow as they explore the many neighborhoods that make New York City a distinct destination for shopping.
