In 2007, Barney's New York celebrated a "Green Christmas" with their eco-friendly holiday window displays. Creative Director Simon Doonan introduced Rudolph the Recycling Reindeer, and scenes from the Twelve Green Days of Christmas in the shop fronts, while sales of designer items by Fendi, Marc Jacob's and Edun will give a donation to environmental charities.
Barneys New York was founded in 1923 when Barney Pressman opened his first store in Manhattan with money he raised by pawning his wife's engagement ring. In 1970, the original four-level store on 7th Avenue and 17th Street was expanded an additional floor and a new five-story adjacent building before relocating to its current location on Madison Avenue and 60th Street in 1993.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my pro-Green true love gave to me …
12 tons of tofu,
11 solar panels,
10 New Age gurus,
9 organic carob bars,
8 tickets to Burning Man,
7 sustainable ostrich farms,
6 compost toilets,
5 rolls of recycled gift wrap,
fair-trade futons,
3 free-range sustainable-farmed organic hens,
2 vegan chefs,
and a Prius in a pear tree.
