Forging a unique merging of fashion and the culinary arts - designer Shannon Reed brings nearly 20 years of experience in the fashion industry to her collection of clothing for the modern chef. Shannon's passion for food, as well as her long-standing friendships with some of America's leading chefs, inspired her to create this fresh and contemporary line. Shannon Reed's objective is to reinterpret the uniform into modern dress by injecting a contemporary approach to her designs. The uniform is an essential component of a variety of professions, but it does not have to be devoid of style. Call it Utility Chic - Shannon's designs allow chefs to wear clothing that embodies their personal sense of style while also delivering on innovation in utility, form and function. Shannon's chef jackets and uniforms are made using multi-functional, high technology fabrics from Japan, Italy, and Switzerland - embedded with advanced finishes for durability, stain resistance, and wicking. High performance stretch fabrics repel moisture and dirt on the outside, while transporting moisture away from the body on the inside. In addition, industrial snaps, zippers and grommets provide a fresh and unique finish to her modern silhouettes and unique designs.
