Barneys New York in Beverly Hills has posted signs wishing shoppers a “hippie holiday.” Creative director Simon Doonan’s groovy décor was inspired by the peace symbol’s 50th anniversary. “Our core customer is a baby boomer who has inherited parental wealth — or maybe they’ve made their own money — but they still think of themselves as alternative, and the imagery of the counterculture still resonates with them,” Doonan says.  (Lawrence K.
