Fred Pressman
Fred Pressman (1923-July 14, 1996) was the chairman of Barneys New York. He assumed the role after taking over from his father, Barney Pressman. Under Fred Pressman's leadership, the store changed from being a discount men's suit shop to a luxury department store showcasing designer fashion.〔 〕
==Early life and education==
Pressman was born in New York City, the son of Barbara and Barney Pressman.〔(New York Times: "Barney Pressman, Retailing Legend, Is Dead at 96" By STEPHANIE STROM ) August 27, 1991〕 His father founded Barneys, a clothing store that focused on selling name brand suits at a deep discount to the working class by purchasing inventory at auctions, bankruptcies, and in odd lots.〔〔(Los Angeles Magazine: "Barneys in Rubble" by Jesse Kornbluth ) March 1996〕〔(New York Observer: "Real Goatskin and Lotsa Gas: The Pressman Saga Unzipped" By Francine Prose ) March 22, 1999〕〔(Orlando Sun Sentinel: "A Tale Of Wolves Swaddled In Sheep's Clothing" By L.A. LOREK ) May 16, 1999〕 He attended Rutgers University before enlisting in the US Army.〔 In 1946, he joined the family business where he excelled at finding quality goods that he could purchase for a discount and sell using innovative marketing.〔
In the late 1950s, he became chairman of the company and slowly transitioned it from a discount retailer and instead replaced the inventory with top-name designers from Europe that were relatively unknown in the United States.〔 He also added women's clothing, housewares, cosmetics and gifts.〔 He was credited with introducing Giorgio Armani to the American market in 1976 as well as one of the first American retailers to sell Hubert de Givenchy and Pierre Cardin products.〔 In the 1970s, his sons, Gene and Bob, joined the business.〔 In the late 1980s, Barneys entered into a partnership with the Japanese retailer Isetan to expand the Barneys name internationally.〔 In January 1996, Barneys filed for bankruptcy protection after a dispute with its Japanese lender.〔(New York Post: "PRESSMANS MAKE WAR ON THEMSELVES OVER $" By Allyson Lieberman ) August 13, 1999〕
