In the 1980s, as the rest of America's high fashion was typified by stiff and uncomfortable puritan clothes, a new class of young vibrant designers was turning New York City upside down with cutting-edge styles and evocative images. It was the art of fashion imitating the fabulous life of young city dwellers.
At the forefront of the new fashion movement was Barneys New York, still one of the most stylish stores in the city.
Writer Lynn Darling came of age in this new fashion movement and writes about Barneys and the fashion revolution in New York, circa 1986 in the article Dress for Excess.
