"Remember that rumor about Jay-Z collaborating with Barneys New York for the holiday season? Well, it turns out this is one collab that is definitely happening! Jay-Z is working with the specialty retailer on &amp;quot;A New York Holiday,&amp;quot; which will include cool interactive windows, limited-edition products, and an immersive gallery space that will live on the third floor of the flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City. As part of the holiday initiative, Jay-Z has partnered with the creative directors at fashion houses including Balenciaga, Lanvin, Balmain, Proenza Schouler, and Acne Studios to create exclusive items available in black, white, gold, and silver (the colors associated with this collab). &amp;quot;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,&amp;amp;#8221; he said. &amp;amp;#8220;Everything that encompasses &amp;#x27;A New York Holiday&amp;#x27;&amp;amp;#8212;the items chosen, the amazing designers that participated, the windows, the design of the BNY SCC Gallery&amp;amp;#8212;represents a perfect example of a unique and groundbreaking collaboration that I hope demonstrates how inspiring New York has been to me.&amp;quot; If you plan on checking out Jay Z&amp;#x27;s collection at Barneys starting Nov. 20, you&amp;#x27;ll be happy to hear 25 percent of sales from &amp;amp;#8220;A New York Holiday&amp;amp;#8221; items will go to the Shawn Carter Foundation, which offers scholarships to single moms and kids who want to pursue a higher education. I think Jay-Z&amp;#x27;s collab with Barneys makes it official: Fashion collabs are bigger than ever! I mean, we have 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, Isabel Marant for H&amp;amp;M (which is coming in November) and last week, I wrote about how Prabal Gurung, and Olivier Theyskens created a custom gown for Sarah Jessica Parker. I&amp;#x27;m loving it! What do you think of Jay-Z&amp;#x27;s collab with Barneys? Are you excited to check it out?
