Chairlift Team Up With Marc Jacobs for Video Series for... Saks!

Brooklyn's Chairlift just announced that they're teaming up with overpriced luxe-retailer Saks Fifth Avenue's as part of its four-part music video for the fall Marc by Marc Jacobs Ready-To-Wear and Accessories Collections. The band's music video shows them wearing the fall line on the streets of Brooklyn. The premiere of the video will include a set by the trio at Saks Fifth Avenue's New York store on August 29 from 3 to 5 during the cities' Fashion Week. Can anyone actually afford the stuff they're wearing though?

Chairlift is also gearing up for for their upcoming fall headlining tour across North America and Europe with Phoenix and The Killers. Former Animal Collective collaborator and composer John Maus will be tagging along with the band on tour, performing as a guest member.  Maus will also open for the band in select cities along the tour, which begins in New York at the Bowery Ballroom Sept. 5.
