Happy, happy Halloween!!
Bradley with Billy Reid was our last Forum speaker, and let me just say: My room mate and I visited that store and it is expensive! I am pretty sure I saw a navy-blue knit sweater in there for $900. They also had really stylish crocheted ties.
The reasons behind their lofty design quo was addressed in class: Bradley, Billy Reid's digital design director told us that their competition lies outside our quad. They're winning prestigious awards here in the Shoals while staying in competition globally with New York-style menswear. So I guess Florence is pretty lucky to have them here, guys.
I really liked the whole geographically-relevent quality to this guy and the store he represents in our downtown. This is someone who affect things outside of his own town, and still manages to help his community. Bradley himself is concerned with civic engagement when it comes to preserving historic sites within the Shoals. He joined the city historical board because it helps him to gain control of what goes on in downtown Florence by keeping it unique and valuable - no Wal Marts, for example. By helping out with this, he hops to become a better leader and follower in his personal and business life. How commendable!
He also acknowledged that although he is making progress, he still has a long way to go and is willing to take and adapt the wisdom that is passed on to those more experienced: "I am a young man, and I still have a lot to learn myself." He is trying to educate himself on what his elders consider the best way s to carry out orders of business. He's all about absorbing and learning. He also has to be at the top of his game to convinced everyone that his idea is a good idea, which can be hard in his creative field. One pointer? You generate interest with fun, crazy ideas that capture people.
