Because the temperatures warm up and city dwellers start longing to get out of the concrete jungle, Nordstrom is teaming with Sky High Farm Workwear within the Hudson Valley for its latest pop-up shop.

Sky High Farm, which relies in Ancramdale, Recent York, was founded by artist Dan Colen and Daphne Seybold, formerly of Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market, in 2011 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing access to fresh, locally produced food. Its mission is supported by the funds raised through numerous limited-edition apparel drops.

Since its founding, Sky High Farm has donated greater than 100,000 kilos of vegetables and 65,000 kilos of animal protein to food access organizations around Recent York State.

Sky High Farm Workwear was created in partnership with Dover Street Market Paris as a part of its brand development department. Nordstrom carried its debut collection in spring 2022 inside Space, its boutique for emerging designers.

The Workwear@Nordstrom shop, which opens Thursday on the retailer’s Recent York store, will feature special collaborations from Sky High Farms’ contributing artistic director and photographer Quil Lemons, Ally Bo, Dickies, Converse and other brands which have worked with Sky High Farm’s team in Ancramdale to reimagine vintage pieces. The assortment will include matching denim sets, sweatsuits, embroidered shirts, knitwear, employee boots and sneakers. 

The shop and the gathering, which can even be offered on the retailer’s website, will remain through May 7.

To have a good time the launch, Nordstrom can be hosting an event at its Recent York City men’s store on Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring a panel discussion with Lemons and Seybold that can be moderated by Jian DeLeon, Nordstrom’s men’s fashion director.
