Jay Z Collaborates With Barneys New York For ‘A New York Holiday’ Collection

Continuing on his path to way to make his mark in every industry possible, Jay Z has partnered with Barneys New York create and curate a special line of fashion and accessories for the 2013 holiday season, a collection aptly titled “A New York Holiday.”

“With this project, Barneys New York and I were able to take the slickness, energy, and innovation of New York City and translate that into quality, timeless pieces,” said Mr. Carter. “Everything that encompasses ‘A New York Holiday’—the items chosen, the amazing designers that participated, the windows, the design of the BNY SCC Gallery—represents a perfect example of a unique and groundbreaking collaboration that I hope demonstrates how inspiring New York has been to me.”

The collaboration includes items from such prestigious designers as Balenciaga, Hoorsenbuhs, Rick Owens, Stutterheim and several others, and items in this limited-edition collection will be available in its own space, the BNY SCC Gallery, a space specifically dedicated to this partnership. Jay Z will also have a hand in the design of the interactive displays along Barneys New York’s Madison Avenue windows during the holiday season.

The “A New York Holiday” collection will go on sale officially starting November 20. 25% of the sales will go toward Jay Z’s charity organization, the Shawn Carter Foundation.
