Welcome to
the New Scottsdale Fashion Square and the Opening of
Barneys New York
On October 15th at
10:15a.m, Scottsdale shopoholics and food fanatics have
many more reasons to celebrate.
Barneys New York will officially be revealed at
Fashion Square. After two years of construction and
anticipation, the wait will be over! The new store and
Fred’s restaurant will not disappoint.
There are nearly twenty
new retail shops in total that occupy the expansion with
Barneys New York as the anchor department store. Some
are old favorites, doing new things, like the Banana
Republic store, which will introduce a new store
concept. Some are just plain new to town, such as
Arthur, a family-friendly clothing store and a market
first that specializes in lounge wear for the entire
family. Then there are some that are making their
global debut right here in the Valley: Microsoft is set
to open late October.
The new wing will also
welcome three sit down eateries to the addition. Modern
Steak, another first to market concept by local favorite
Sam Fox is not your typical steakhouse. Modern Steak is
being described as hip but comfortable and offers the
best steaks in town. The
menu will offer new interpretations of familiar
classics. From appetizers to quality meat and seafood
dishes and exquisite salads and sides to irresistible
desserts, Modern Steak is the place for business
meetings or just a night out with family and friends.
Modern Steak will be the first-to-market restaurant to
provide a cocktail service, where personal mixologists
will prepare a selection of fifteen signature drinks
custom blended tableside. Modern Steak will even
offer a walk up burger bar for those in a hurry.
Marcella’s Italian
Kitchen will also make their debut in the valley for the
grand opening as well. One can expect an urban burst of
Italian energy upon entering the door.
The menu is designed to
transport guests to Italy with authentic dishes and wine
reflecting the bold flavors of Italy. Menu items are
meant to be shared, and include house specialties of
antipasta, cured Italian meats, sausages and cheeses,
classic Neopolitan stone oven pizzas and housemade
pastas.
The third
eatery will be located in Barneys New York, the infamous
Fred’s. The hip
café located atop Barneys, where chic shoppers can fuel
up with fresh sandwiches, salads and maybe a glass of
wine or champagne to celebrate a fabulous day at
Scottsdale’s newest retail destination.
Other notable names that
will call the east wing home are the following: J. Crew,
True Religion, Michael Stars, Christian Audigier,
Forever 21, Aqua Beachwear and Stash. Adding more range
to what the center offers, from the couture stores
already in place like Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Jimmy
Choo, Gucci, St. John’s and Cartier to new core
retailers like Forever 21 and Love Culture.
Assistant Vice President
of Property Management, Steve Helm said, “The expansion
has given us the ability to bring in new retail and
restaurants that are unique to Arizona. With over 225
stores and restaurants available, Scottsdale Fashion
Square offers something for everybody.”
Choose the Muse
In celebration of the new wing’s opening, The
Mannequin Is our Muse design project will be on
display from Oct. 15 through 18. The unique art exhibit
will showcase 100 fabulously designed mannequins, which
will be voted on based on best design. Big names like Ed
Hardy, Carolina Herrera and Simon Doonan, creative
director of Barneys, will have a designed mannequin
participating in this art show along with local designer
and celebrities. The winning mannequins will go on to be
displayed at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA),
and the “Best in Show” winner will have a $5,000
donation in their name made to SMoCA.

The Architecture
In order to realize the Barneys vision for the new
Scottsdale store, David New, Barneys New York’s
Executive Vice President of Creative Services and his
Store Design team collaborated on the project with
global design firm Gensler. While the overall store
design contains many of the signature features of
Barneys New York stores, including long open floor
plans, a gallery-like interior and monumental staircase,
the Scottsdale store has its own character, including
nods to the local environment. The exterior features
Sierra stone with visible striations as a salute to the
South West. The tonal gray, white and blue marble lends
a cool and tranquil feeling to the main floor. Some
original features of the store are the modern design of
the monumental steel and glass sculptural staircase that
connects the two floors and a glass box entryway on the
facade, smoothly connecting outside to the inside. The
flooring throughout is a notable design highlight: the
spacious open layout shows off intricate geometric
patterns and materials including mosaic tile and
beautiful woods such as teak. Each floor has its own
unique design and character and use of rich materials.
The Manager
Diane Schwartz is the vice-president and general manager
of the store. She was formerly the department manager
for women’s designer collections at the Barneys New York
Las Vegas store.
