Thursday evening Garden & Gun hosted a party celebrating the opening of Billy Reid’s new shop in Charleston. Guests enjoyed delicious chicken liver pâté by chef Mike Lata of FIG, served with pickled peaches and okra as well as cocktails amidst Billy’s smart designs, vintage photographs and charming antiques. It was a full house and in the know guests headed downstairs to the candlelit brick basement to cool off and tap into the supply of Pappy Van Winkle’s 20 year old bourbon. The King Street store is Billy Reid’s fifth in the South since he won the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s award as the best new men’s-wear designer in 2001.
Thanks to Billy Reid for a lovely evening and welcome to Charleston!
