Description

If you've ever walked down Madison Avenue and past Barneys New York, you've experienced the magic of Simon Doonan. Considered a fashion industry legend and the world's most famous window dresser, Simon served as the creative head behind Barneys's renowned and unconventional window displays, which won him many awards, including a CFDA Award. He then became the creative director of Barneys New York and then served as their creative ambassador-at-large. Over the past 45 years, Simon has added best-selling author and TV personality to his resume. He has written over ten books on various aspects of style and culture: his newest book delves into Keith Haring's life, the revolutionary artist from the '80s. But Simon's glamorous adult life today is a far cry from how he grew up in England. In this episode, you will learn about Simon's incredible journey, how he found his creative calling, and why he credits his mother's work ethic as the secret to his success.
