Before Barneys became shorthand for a certain kind of New York style, it was a discount menswear shop opened by Barney Pressman in 1923. Written by his grandson Gene Pressman, They All Came to Barneys tells the inside story of the family business that grew into one of the world’s most influential fashion stores, and the designers, personalities, risks, and ideas that made it matter.
