Following the launch of Saks Fifth Avenue’s ‘Gifts of Delight’ holiday campaign, the luxury retailer has revealed its holiday windows at its New York City flagship. Fashion takes center stage, spotlighting pastel-colored designs reminiscent of a trove of festive macarons from designers such as Prada, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Loewe, and more against a wintry, crystalline backdrop. Timed to the iconic flagship’s 100th anniversary, the dazzling windows are framed by an elegantly illuminated facade and glistening garland to highlight the structural grandeur of the landmark building. The festivity continues inside, where customers can discover the Saks Fifth Avenue High Jewelry collection, exhibited on the main floor for the first time, as well as the Saks Holiday Market, a special Ralph’s Coffee holiday shop, and a new, limited-time holiday menu at L’Avenue at Saks.

Guffey’s of Atlanta has been demonstrating the true meaning of the experience economy since 1965. While founder Don Guffey has taken a back seat, allowing his co-owners Neil Guffey (Don’s nephew) and Tim Richey to take the helm, he was one of the first retailers in the region to pursue the custom and made-to-measure market aggressively. In 2022, Guffey and Richey bought Kirby’s Menswear in Tampa, Florida (initially established in 1959), and the duo is bringing their distinct brand of Southern charm and sophisticated taste level to the Sunshine State.
