A New York Holiday—the creative collaboration between Shawn “JAY Z” Carter and Barneys New York—brings together the art, the fashion, the industry…the very energy New York was built on, to support an important cause. In the spirit of the holiday season, Barneys New York will donate 100% of sales from A New York Holiday items to the Shawn Carter Foundation.

The Garments are quite expensive but it's Barney's NY, The same place that's accused of racially profiling African American shopper's like Trayon Christian, 19, who filed a lawsuit stating that police approached and detained him after he had purchased a $349 Ferragamo belt; They are now selling Jay-Z's collection and 100% of the proceeds will benefit The Shawn Carter Foundation (How you luv that?!)

"I move and speak based on facts and not emotion" ~ Jay-Z

As usual many news reports are insisting the deal should be dropped and are issuing outlandish and cruel statements about a business opportunity I'm sure they wouldn't turn down. But who you know like Hov?,

"I am in a unique position to use my voice to affect change to this disturbing issue," he wrote. "The easy position would have been to walk away and leave policy making to others hoping that someone addresses the problem. I will not leave the outcome to others. I will take this into my own hands with full power to recommend, review and revise policies and guidelines moving forward. I am choosing to take this head on."

"I move and speak based on facts and not emotion," the statement said. "I haven't made any comments because I am waiting on facts and the outcome of a meeting between community leaders and Barneys. Why am I being demonized, denounced and thrown on the cover of a newspaper for not speaking immediately?"

"The negligent, erroneous reports and attacks on my character, intentions and the spirit of this collaboration have forced me into a statement I didn't want to make without the full facts,"

"This money is going to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships to help further their education at institutions of higher learning,"

"My idea was born out of creativity and charity... not profit."

"making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project wouldn't hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter but all the people that stand a chance at higher education," he said. "I have been working with my team ever since the situation was brought to my attention to get to the bottom of these incidents and at the same time find a solution that doesn't harm all those that stand to benefit from this collaboration."

"I am against discrimination of any kind but if I make snap judgments, no matter who it's towards, aren't I committing the same sin as someone who profiles?" he asked. "I am no stranger to being profiled and I truly empathize with anyone that has been put in that position. Hopefully this brings forth a dialogue to effect real change."

I honestly prob won't be buying anything from this collection but I love what it represent's. With support of Wife, Beyonce I'm sure this line will do well in the face of much criticism. Screen shot 2013-11-21 at 9.13.27 AM
