Simon Doonan Still in Place at Barneys, But Rumors of Tension With New CEO Mark Lee Have Surfaced
>> Julie Gilhart and Judy Collinson are gone from Barneys New York, but what about Simon Doonan, the retailer's creative director? He's currently still with the company, but the New York Post cites a source saying that the retailer's new CEO, Mark Lee, is concerned that Doonan "has used his popularity to promote himself rather than Barneys, and that's going to have to change." A Barneys spokesman declined comment, and Doonan did not respond to a request for comment. [WWD, NY Post]
