Barneys is great for young and innovative fashion.  Even if you are into older, more established labels, the buyer seems to lean towards the brighter and/or edgy pieces.  The house brand is great.  It has maintained season after season of wearable and well made clothing.  It's more conservative, but always classic.  The bad things about Barneys: saleswomen in Jewelry are comatosed and not very friendly.  The younger floors are always messy, esp the jeans area.
