Jay-Z Launches Barneys Holiday Collection Amid Controversy
. The high-end and limited edition line features collaborations with such luxury brands as Rick Owen, Balenciaga and Lanvin, among others. Shoppers will need a Jay Z-sized budget to procure the high-end items, which tops out at $58,000 for a Mollino alligator leather jacket. The most affordable item is a $70 graphic print T-shirt featuring gold metallic print. For those in New York, the items will be for sale in a special pop-up BNY SCC Gallery created by French visual artist Joanie Lemercier "under the direction of Mr. Carter and Barneys New York Creative Director Dennis Freedman." According to the New York Daily News, a large window display at the Barneys store on Madison Avenue "stopped foot traffic" when it was unveiled today (Nov. 20). Price-point notwithstanding, the items are sleek and minimal, for the most part eschewing big logos for understated designs, resulting in truly stylish pieces such as the Lanvin slim-fit two-button jacket ($2495) with matching slim-dress trousers ($1055) and the Stutterheim Stockholm raincoat ($675). Also found in the collection are more extravagant items including a cashmere throw ($4500), a cedar-lined cigar humidor ($1000) and a two-finger gold New York City ring ($12,500).
