Barneys 2010: Have a Foodie Holiday!

>

The holiday windows have all been unveiled and the funniest are always at Barneys.  Simon Doonan and his creative team are wishing everyone a Foodie Holiday this year.  One particularly cheeky window features everyone's favorite lady chefs including Ina Garten, Paula Deen, Martha Stewart, Sandra Lee all in personalized Snuggies. 

Sanda Lee, Food Network chef and newly elected first girlfriend of New York.

Anthony Bourdain and other chefs feast on Mario Batali in another window. 

The fire under the stew pot looks real but the dress made from Illy coffee packaging below is the real show stopper!  Have a Foodie Holiday everyone!

Brooks and Barneys

>

Last week, Barney's named Amanda Cutter Brooks their new women's fashion director.  Sometimes she's just seen as a socialite but Amanda was previously creative director for Tuleh and Hogan.  She's also contributed to Vogue and Men's Vogue.  She also wrote the great book, I Love Your Style.  As my friend Jessica Gold pointed out, "she's a good mix of uptown and downtown with a bit of quirk thrown in for good measure."  I always thought the previous women's fashion director, Julie Gilhart, was a little too downtown for me so it will be interesting to see what Amanda does at Barney's.  Everyone needs a little change to shake things up from time to time including stores.

La Table d’Hermès

> I'm officially over summer and all I can think of is autumn with it's crisp cool weather and beautiful clothes. I also think this amazing sepia toned tableware "Les Maisons Enchantées" from Hermès would be perfect for fall feasts and even more spectacular at Thanksgiving! You might just want to keep it away from the kiddie table! It's available now at Barneys in New York (seen here) or Hermès.
