Saks Introduces its First Menswear Store

Saks Fifth Avenue (New York) debuted its inaugural menswear concept, Saks Downtown Men's, in late Februrary – a 16,000-square-foot store featuring apparel, accessories and shoes – at 250 Vesey St. in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District. The store features a permanent space that will exhibit a monthly rotation of designer collaborations, exclusive collections and inventive visual displays. Featuring an understated, sophisticated palette – as well as views of the Statue of Liberty, chevron-patterned porcelain flooring, Phillip Jeffries handcrafted woven wallcoverings and an eclectic furniture mix – the outpost was designed to resemble a gentleman’s walk-in closet.

This store opening originally appeared in the April 2017 issue of VMSD in the "On Our Radar" section.
