Editorial Review for Barneys New York – by Minya Quirk
The Scene
Barneys is the younger person's Bergdorf Goodman, and the vibe is just as classy--with a modern flavor. The sprawling store is mostly white, impeccably clean and so enchanting it might make you max out every credit card you have if you're not careful. The staff are well-dressed and attractive enough that they often forget that they are there to help patrons. Dress very well and act confident to get better service.
The Goods
Fashion fanatics come to Barneys for just about anything. Women's clothing runs the gamut from Prada and Helmut Lang to younger, more affordable labels, like Earl Jeans and Three Dots. The beauty brands are extensive, the shoe selection is terrific and the house label fantastic. There's also a maternity section and a selection of bridal wear. Unless you're on a budget, there's no reason not to shop here.

i went to go buy my boyfriend a gift for his birthday , he wanted the jackspade bookbag for school, so i found it their, no one offered to help me, these guys there looked like air head concided modles, when it came time to pay i had to wait for the guy at the register to finish his conversation with the other employee, then they tell me they dont have gift boxes to go down stairs and ask the men their, so i go and ask and they snapped at me, they were like go back where you bought them and ask for a box, i explained that where i bought it they directed me downstairs and he said well your not egtting a box from me! i cant belive the attitude , i was so furious the man had me in tears, by far the worst shopping experience iv ever had in my life and everyone their shoyuld be fired...i bet if i walked in with a black card they'd kiss up!

I dont usually write reviews. But I agree with the poster, about the sales asscoiates who dont know their merchandise, or cant be bothered. ( Trust, me I think Barneys is the absolute best fashion store in the universe...the NYC one, not all the other barneys are as fab!!!) I have some Teri Bienvenue earrings purchased at the Barneys in Seattle, WA a while back. Mind you they had only a few of her pieces but they were there. She isnt a big name designer or anything, or maybe a one time thing, so her name may not be to forthcoming. However at the NYC Barneys I had asked to be directed to the Gabrielle Sanchez Jewelry, the sales associate initially said.."um...I dont think we have it..." Maybe she should have read the name inside one of the Jewelry Cases. she was standing in front of. I mean, come on !!! Gabrielle Sanchez has a seprate part of a jewelry case..with her name in metallic letters within the case, and the sales gal was telling me "NO I dont think we have it "? That is pure nonsense. Other than the forementioned uniformed sales associate I experienced, Barneys is still the greaaaaaatest shopping experiences of life. Great clothes, great jewelry, and for the most part great great service. I love their cosmetics department the best, small ,but the associates/make up artists are all well informed on their product lines, and when they apply make up on your face, they make you look fabulous, and not like a call girl or something !!! The gorgeous Bobbi Brown ladies are my faves ! That's my rant, over. Annie...fashion police.
Pros: C'mon !!!! It's BARNEYS. !!!! Fashion Mecca of the universe. Fabulous merchandise always !!!
Cons: None. I love the plase. Will be buried there if allowed. Bobbi Brown gals to do make up !!! LOL....
