The arrival of CEO Mark Lee in 2011 heralded a sharpened focus on innovation: think collaborations with Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Walt Disney, and swag of renowned photographers. Of all the major department stores, Barneys’ holiday windows are the most eclectic, focusing on contemporary themes in partnership with famous artists and designers. It teamed up with Save the Children to create a social message in 2018.
