Farewell to BarneysNY
department store in Beverly Hills on Dec. 24, wandering around on the men’s floor. It was almost closing time, and there was something depressing about being at Barneys at dusk on the night before Christmas. The store was empty, almost ghost-like, except for another shopper, who looked like he could be related to, scanning a rack of winter jackets. As I reached for the price tag of a shirt, my arm bushed against the stranger’s.
I wasn’t around when Barneys first launched in 1923, in a 500-square-foot space with menswear, but the mythology of the store reached me through Hollywood. The ladies of “Sex and the City” frequently stopped there to lounge and browse for their Manolo Blahniks. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Sarah Jessica Parker captured the essence of Barneys in the 2000s, before the economy crashed. “If you’re a nice person and you work hard, you get to go to Barneys,” she said. “It’s the decadent reward.
It was because of Barneys that I’d discovered that the best way to travel in New York is in a pair of Prada boots or Lanvin sneakers. It introduced me to under-the-radar men’s designers such as Rogues Gallery , Rag & Bone, Nice Collective, Acme and ATM. Barneys gave me the red tuxedo jacket from Ermenegildo Zegna that I wore at the Cannes Film Festival. And it was my favorite place to buy gifts.
