    to clarify

    the previous flashy site that Kioken did was hard to buy stuff on because you COULDNT

    it was a promo and brand building site.

    Now, I don't know who did this, or what their other branding stuff looks like - but if this site is actually following any brand standards - someone needs to get fucking fired.

    the photos are fine

    but the site offers nothing of the experience that a Barney's store does.

    elegance, style, quality and, well - expense.

    It's red and you can click things.
    and it has a really annoying invisible tracking frame or something that makes everything flicker on my browser.

    there's no flashiness, no style, no sense of awe - things that you would think barney's would want to portray in their site.

    There's no information - no shots of the barney's stores where they will really do their business - no explanation of the custom tailoring process or a general price range - NO call to action to get into a store where people are really going to make them money.

    But you can buy ties.
    Ties uncerimoniously lined up on white backgrounds.
