Jhane Barnes "Slim Fit" Men's Vintage Two-Ply Thick Cotton Pin Stripe Luxury ShirtJHANE BARNES VINTAGEKnown for "fancies" the colorful and highly patterned shirts, her designs combine different fabrics to create a unique style that is exclusively Jhane Barnes.Influential American designer, Jhane Barnes “Dubbed a ‘fashion nerd’ by Wired magazine in 1996, Barnes was among the first designers to embrace computer technology in her textile designs,”“Her early customers included rakes such as Elton John, Hall & Oates, and John Lennon, and in 1980, at just twenty-five, she became the youngest Coty award, winner. Two years later, Barnes designed her first textile using an Atari computer, and soon she was exploring how technology could help her create ever more abstract textiles.”Jhane Barnes launched her fashion company in 1976 with a pair of pants and a $5,000 loan from her Biology professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The pants had no back pockets and made a man look so good that everyone wanted a pair. John Lennon, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, and John Oates of Hall & Oates were some of Jhane's earliest customers. Elton John, Robin Williams, John Travolta, Jack Nicholson, Mark Rivera (Billy Joel's saxophone player), Andy Pettitte of the Yankees, Danny Glover, James Earl Jones, and Richard Chamberlain have also worn Jhane Barnes & me!In my opinion one of the best shirt makers of the era. Period!
