Fans of Fox's hit drama "Empire" can now steal their favorite characters' style. Saks Fifth Avenue teamed up with the show to bring the characters' lavish wardrobes to life, the Hollywood Reporter reported. The fall 2015 collection will arrive just in time for the series premiere next month.
"This unprecedented partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, Alexis Bittar, Cushnie et Ochs, Jimmy Choo and MCM celebrates 'Empire's' mark on the fashion world," Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products, said in a press release. "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 carefully curated collection will feature jewelry by Alexis Bittar and a women's ready-to-wear line from Cushnie et Ochs. Jimmy Choo will provide men's and women's footwear, and handbags and accessories will be available from MCM. The collection will be available in-store and online and will feature looks inspired by characters Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray), Jamal (Jussie Smollett), Andre (Trai Byers) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson).
"The lines between fashion and entertainment are intersecting," Saks Fifth Avenue President Marc Metrick said in a statement. "Harnessing this moment is a key underpinning to our strategy as it brings energy and uniqueness to the shopping experience at Saks."
Exclusively curated "Empire"-inspired windows will be unveiled at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship stores in New York and Beverly Hills on Sept. 10 and will remain until Oct. 7, according to the press release.
"Empire" season two premieres on Sept. 23 on Fox.
