Published on November 04, 2021

Saks, a premier luxury ecommerce platform, has unveiled its holiday schedule for Saks Live, a virtual events platform on saks.com that brings Saks Fifth Avenue customers into the worlds of luxury fashion and beauty. Launched earlier this year, Saks Live has hosted 42 events to date. Beginning November 2 through the holiday season, Saks Live will offer a series of virtual events centered around gift-giving and dressing for holiday celebrations.

Saks Live offers virtual experiences and shoppable content while providing lifestyle, shopping and fashion advice directly from industry insiders. Further, Saks Live hosts speak directly to the viewers, interact with them via a chat function and help them shop while they watch.

Emily Essner, Chief Marketing Officer, Saks, said, “As we solidify our position as the leading luxury ecommerce destination in the U.S., Saks Live provides our customers with increased access to on-demand style inspiration and unique shopping experiences. Even more exciting, we’re giving Saks Fifth Avenue customers the opportunity to easily interact with some of the industry’s most well-known experts by simply visiting saks.com. As we work to deliver for our customers this holiday season, this is another example of how we are meeting customers where, when and how they want to shop with us.”
