Saks Fifth Avenue

The luxury retail industry lost a true leader in Burt Tansky, and his wisdom and outlook on luxury retail helped to make our industry what it is today. We are honored that he helped to shape the Saks Fifth Avenue brand in such a meaningful way. Burt’s family and friends are in our thoughts.

In honor of Women's History Month and International Women’s Day, we’re taking an opportunity to reflect on the transformative impact women have had across our industry and communities, while acknowledging the ongoing work needed to advance gender equality and empowerment. To celebrate, the WOMEN at Saks Global Employee Resource Group and Women’s Associate Community Network at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman are hosting events throughout the month that recognize women and their strength, influence and contributions. Across Saks Global, we’re committed to empowering women and fostering an inclusive environment that inspires belonging, today and everyday.

To celebrate the third season of the Emmy award-winning series “The Traitors” , we’re collaborating with Peacock on a digital campaign and custom window displays at the Saks Fifth Avenue New York flagship. Set against handmade paper recreations of the show’s iconic Scotland set, the custom window displays feature fashion drawing from the work of esteemed celebrity stylist, Sam Spector. The digital campaign gives customers an opportunity to shop a curated assortment of fashion inspired by host Alan Cumming’s memorable, eye-catching looks worn on this season of the show, as well as a behind-the-scenes look into Sam Spector’s styling process in an exclusive interview on Saks.com.

Black History Month (BHM) is a time to celebrate the contributions of the Black and African American community and acknowledge the adversity that has been and continues to be faced. Throughout the month, resource groups across Saks Global are coming together to host and engage our colleagues in meaningful conversations grounded in this year’s U.S. national theme, African Americans and Labor, which explores the ways that all types of work intersect with the ongoing experiences of Black and African American people. Additionally, the theme aims to recognize the profound impact that this community has had across various industries. We look forward to commemorating the month with insightful events and programs to both honor and amplify Black stories, voices and history, providing Saks Global colleagues with a dedicated space to find inspiration and empowerment in a safe, inclusive and equitable environment. #BlackHistoryMonth
