Billy Reid teamed up with iconic musical instrument maker Gibson for an exclusive capsule collection inspired by the Hummingbird guitar, a model favored by such musicians as Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow and Thom Yorke. An accomplished guitar player himself, Reid worked with the Gibson team to research past iterations of the Hummingbird pickguard artwork and create an original design for the limited-edition capsule. The resulting Kissing Hummingbirds graphic features throughout the collection and symbolizes the two American brands coming together. Men’s looks include western shirting, a leather café racer jacket, sweater, sweatshirt, and t-shirt along with select accessories. The men’s campaign features singer-songwriters and Gibson artists Abraham Alexander and Aaron Lee Tasjan.
From the influence of Muscle Shoals Sound Studio to our Shindig performances, music has been at the core of the Billy Reid brand since the very beginning. I’m a big Gibson Hummingbird fan and the picture of the iconic pickguard has been on our inspiration board for many years.
