The premiere of Empire’s second season is a little more than a month away and I’m excited! The drama, the music, the fashion— let’s focus on that last bit for a second shall we? Hakeem and Cookie Lyon are my personal favorites when it comes to style on the show and it seems the fashion industry is also taking notice. The hit TV show is partnering with luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue on a number of curated collections that reflect the sartorial choices of Empire’s main characters.
Of the partnership, the President of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products, Jeffrey Godsick said, “The influence Empire has had on so many aspects of popular culture proves it has the ingredients to become a stand-alone fashion brand.” The collaboration has already enlisted some fashion heavy hitters including Fashion Bomb favorite Cushnie et Ochs, Alexis Bittar, Jimmy Choo, MCM, and many more.
And that isn’t all! There will also be Empire-themed windows from September 10th to October 7th at Saks Fifth Avenue’s flagship stores in New York City and Beverly Hills. We’re sure there will be lots of bling, metallics, bold hues, and animal prints in store.
Empire’s second season premieres on FOX on September 23rd, so get your DVRs ready. And stay tuned for more shopping info for these fabulous collections!
What do you think? Would you wear Cookie Lyons-inspired looks for Fall?
