This is a smart-looking campaign. Apart from looking good, it strikes a nice balance between brand-building and product promotion.

Call me crazy, but I honestly believe the introduction of the black iPod has ushered in a slew of suddenly-black merchandise and design. When was the last time you saw CB2 using a black background color? In some cases, it works: Bergdorf's GUCCI treatment fits. In others, it doesn't: Burberry's Fall Menswear message feels forced and off-brand.

Here, Barneys experiments with impractical but new and engaging design shapes. The circular and long, lean rectangular designs stand out in an inbox full of squares.
