The collection is inspired by traditional categories of fine art including architecture, music, painting, literature, sculpture and acting, the “Fine Arts” capsule collection consists of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, sneakers, handbags and soft accessories. The collection ranges in price from $130 to $1585, and all items are available for purchase now exclusively on Saks.com and at the Saks New York flagship.

“Saks has always been super supportive and forward-thinking from the beginning, so teaming up with the team on projects always feels natural. This time around we’ve merged our thoughts to produce some products we think the Saks consumer will appreciate,” said Abloh.
