The Art Franklin Collection is a men's clothing brand founded in 2021 by WIAT-42 news anchor Art Franklin. It was developed with the assistance of Atlanta, Georgia-based fashion designer Edmond Newton.

The line is sold exclusively at Treś Washington's Treś’ Fine Clothing in the Cotton's Building in downtown Ensley. Franklin opened an office and studio for the brand in the same building.

The initial collection focused on neckwear and pocket squares, with a limited selection of custom-fitted shirts and suits. Franklin expects to expand the line with athletic wear inspired by the 2022 World Games. Later offerings would include more variety in suits and shirts. Franklin plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from the venture to the A. G. Gaston Boys and Girls Club.
