What: Macy’s introduces a new exclusive menswear collection honoring The Divine Nine historically black fraternities.

Why it is important: This collection strengthens Macy's commitment to diversity and inclusion, directly connecting with its social purpose platform, Mission Every One. By collaborating with The Divine Nine, Macy's not only celebrates African American culture and fraternity traditions but also supports broader educational and community service initiatives through substantial donations to foundations chosen by The Divine Nine organizations.

Macy's has unveiled an exclusive menswear collection designed to celebrate and honor the historically black fraternities known as The Divine Nine. The collection includes a variety of menswear such as polos, blazers, cardigans, and accessories, all reflecting the signature colors and ethos of the organizations like Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, and others. Created in partnership with Tayion Collection's Montee Holland, a participant in Macy’s diversity initiatives, and featuring items from Stacy Adams and Macy's Club Room, the collection ranges from formal wear to casual styles.

This initiative is part of Macy’s social purpose platform, Mission Every One, which aims to empower leaders and foster representation. Macy’s plans to donate $3 million by January 2025 to foundations supported by The Divine Nine, contributing to their missions of academic excellence, community service, and brotherhood. Prices for the collection start at $49, and it will be available online and at select Macy’s stores by July 2024. This collaboration not only provides members of The Divine Nine with apparel that celebrates their heritage but also supports the ongoing philanthropic and community-focused efforts of these fraternities.
