Items incorporate Barneys’ historic brand with KROST’s contemporary fashion to form a capsule that represents the past, present and future of New York City.

Barneys New York x KROST has

also partnered with The Food Bank of New York City and One Warm Coat for the line. The collaboration will provide 2,400 coats and 800 meals over the holidays.

“Barneys New York is where I first discovered my love for fashion and apparel,” says Samuel Krost, founder, KROST. “As a New York-based brand, it’s truly a privilege to be collaborating with an iconic New York institution like Barneys. More importantly, we’re excited to be supporting two amazing non-profit organizations that are combating the effects of the pandemic on the New York Community.”
