It was so strange that NM had a sought after exclusive, would only order a relative few, so would just end up creating a market for Barneys to sell tons of them. I don't know if there is an official answer as to who will have it, but I was first told by BALNY and NM that only NM would have it. Then that was revised to say Barneys would have it about a month later. Maybe NM is protesting the non-exclusivity of the lilac now that they know they are selling. Who knows? I can't imagine it would be a different lilac. I hope by spring collection BALNY will have it, in all styles. The other NM exclusive, the new version of the shoulder (called the Hip or something) will be in the spring lineup. So I'm just hoping - no inside scoop to base that on.
