Interesting how the Barney's bankruptcy did not receive any commentary from the HackerNews. As a software engineer with a degree in fashion design as well, I believe both luxury retail stores are equally notorious

  As in market cap? It's 3x more, but Barney's is more legendary in fashion circles. Could also because there is more brand dilution at Neiman Marcus

    Neiman Marcus has no public market cap; it's a private company. You're probably referring to their debt.
