Seen in the Luxe lobby
Simon Doonan, the creative director for Barneys New York, was seen in our lobby recently. Since joining the Barneys staff in 1986 as a window dresser, Doonan, has written four books, the most recent entitled Eccentric Glamour, and has made appearances on VH1 and America's Next Top Model. Interviewed for an article in the New York Daily News, he said, "There are two horribly worrying trends! Celebrities are becoming so gun-shy that there is no diversity, no sense of fun on the red carpet. There's no experimentation - which is incredibly important to fashion." Bravo!
