      This Amendment No. 5 ("Amendment No. 5") amends the Statement on
Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed on March 27, 2000, as amended by        
Amendment No. 1 filed on September 11, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 2 filed
on October 25, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 3 filed on January 15, 2003 and
as amended by Amendment No. 4 filed on November 17, 2004 by and on behalf of    
Whippoorwill Associates, Inc. ("Whippoorwill"), Shelley F. Greenhaus ("Mr.      
Greenhaus"), David A. Strumwasser ("Mr. Strumwasser"), Vega Partners, L.P., Vega
Partners II, L.P., Vega Partners III, L.P., Vega Partners IV, L.P., Whippoorwill
Partners, L.P., Vega Offshore Fund Ltd. and Whippoorwill Profit Sharing Plan    
(the foregoing being referred to collectively as the "Reporting Persons") with  
respect to their ownership of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common  
Stock"), of Barneys New York, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").     
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed 
to them in the Schedule 13D.                                                    

           The responses to Item 4 (Purpose of Transaction) and Item 5 (Interest
in Securities of the Issuer) are hereby amended as follows:                     

ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.                                              

       As previously reported, on November 10, 2004, the Company entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Jones Apparel
Group, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Jones") and Flintstone Acquisition    
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, 
on December 20, 2004, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the "Merger")
with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Upon    
completion of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary 
of Jones and each holder of Common Stock became entitled to receive $19.00 per  
share in cash, without interest. Consequently, the Reporting Persons are no     
longer the beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock.                     

ITEM 5.    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.                                

         (a) The information in Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of
this Amendment No. 5 is incorporated herein by reference. As of December 20,    
2004, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common     
Stock.                                                                          

         (b) The information in (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages
of this Amendment No. 5 and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof is incorporated herein by     
reference.                                                                      

        (c) The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 5 is
incorporated herein by reference.                                               

(d) Not applicable.                                       

         (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more
than five percent of the Common Stock on December 20, 2004.
