Barneys New York is a chain of upscale department stores. The company began in 1923, when Barney Pressman opened his first store in Manhattan with money he raised by pawning his wife's engagement ring. Even after filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 1996, closing in Chelsea and several locations across the US and selling locations in Japan and Singapore, Barneys has maintained its ability to attract both Upper East Side old guard and downtown's fashion elite. Barneys industrial style Co-op department and stand-alone stores feature edgy, funkier styles and accessories for men and women. Barneys is easily recognized by its brilliant red awnings and imaginative window displays. In late 2004 the Pressman family sold off its less than 2% remaining ownership when the company was sold to Jones Apparel Group. Image File history File links Logo_ba. ...

In three episodes, Barneys was featured as the place where character Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) worked. In two of those episodes, Parker Posey played his boss, Dorleen.

• In an episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Secretary," character Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) goes to Barneys to return a dress which did not look as good on her outside the store as it did on her in the store. During her return she tries on another dress, but is not sure if the dress really looks good on her or not and accuses the store of using "skinny mirrors." In order to get an unbiased reflection, she walks out of the store wearing the dress. Later, she is forced to buy the dress because she gets salt stains on it from walking in the snow.

• The Beverly Hills flagship was featured in the 1997 film Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, in a scene where Lisa Kudrow mounts the store's impressive four-story staircase.
