The Jay Z x Barneys NY collection,“A New York Holiday“, dropped yesterday. There has been much hullabaloo over this collection and Barneys NYC and race issues. I am not going to comment on that on this blog – you can read about it on everyone else’s. (If you don’t know about it get your head out of your ass).
Anyway, for those who don’t know, the offering features a host of collaborations between Jay Z and some of Barney’s best menswear brands, including En Noir, Acne Studios, Stutterheim, Balmain, etc. 100% percent of the profits are set to be donated to The Shawn Counter Foundation. I am more than willing to give him props for supporting this cause but this collection is mostly ugly and often overpriced. And that is a lot coming from me. But here are my select picks that are actually worth the coin (although the T. Anthony Duffel feels like a LV rip off -I won’t judge you buying it)
Just Don Cap, $875
Moncler Jacket, $2295
Stutterheim Raincoats, $675
T. Anthony Duffel, $1795
