Barneys New York and Hourglass join forces to open the doors to a whimsical shopping experience designed and curated by former Barneys New York powerhouses Simon Doonan and Julie Gilhart. The limited-time concept store celebrates a diverse group of exciting fashion and beauty brands with exclusive items, Hourglass and Barneys New York collaborative products, along with inspiring programming featuring weekly events and influential guest appearances. The pop-up experience is underscored by the collaboration’s commitment to uplifting the fashion industry through Hourglass’s partnership with the CFDA, which provides scholarship funds to rising talent and designers.
“Hourglass got its start at Barneys 20 years ago, as our very first retailer, catapulting our brand into culture,” said Carisa Janes, Founder & President of Hourglass. “It was the launch pad and champion for young designers, a place for discovery and creativity. As we celebrate 20 incredible years of business, we want to honor the spirit of Barneys and pay it forward for today’s designers through this unique pop-up experience and our partnership with the CFDA to support the talent of tomorrow.”
Timed to the start of New York Fashion Week, the Barneys New York and Hourglass pop-up shop at 14 Prince Street will bring industry leaders, designers, creatives and customers together for discovery and connection. The pop-up will feature a calendar full of events, as well as guest DJs, customization opportunities, industry panels and other exciting programming slated for the space. Hourglass makeup artists will also be onsite, offering the brand’s signature beauty services.
At the center of the store is the Hourglass beauty bar, featuring two limited-edition, collaborative Barneys products – the highly coveted Ambient Lighting Palette and an exclusive Unlocked Satin Crème Lipstick Duo – with special-edition packaging designed by Barneys Book illustrator, Na Kim.
In honor of Hourglass’s 20th Anniversary, the brand is introducing a small batch, limited-edition fragrance named, XX – commemorating the last two decades of the brand. Hand numbered from 1 to 1,500, the fresh, green scent is a light fragrance with notes of honeysuckle, orange blossom and sandalwood.
