Barney’s has a fashion army to be sure, but who knew they were so little and round? Mr. Potato Head has invaded, and the windows are looking like tons of fun.
The Barney’s window are a piece of installation art, but I like to look at it as bringing back my vintage toy love. Mr. Potato Head was my favorite thing, and if I ever went to Barney’s I’m sure I’d love it too, so I’m happy to see them interacting so lovingly.
