Who better than Jay Z to partner with Barneys New York (BNY) for a holiday fashion campaign honoring the greatest city of all time?

The Magna Carta magnate and BNY have taken on the task of capturing the heart and soul of New York City through clothes and have enlisted some high fashion houses–Balenciaga, Balmain, Lanvin and Proenza Schuler, to name a few–to create an exclusive, limited edition line in a black, white, gold and silver color palette.

“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,” Jay Z said. “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.”

Kicking off November 20, the products will be available at the newly installed BNY SCC Gallery. In addition, all in the season of giving, BNY will donate 25 percent of proceeds to the Shawn Carter Foundation–a New York-based charity that awards post-secondary scholarships to students to study abroad.
