"   It was an unseasonably hot day in May, one when New Yorkers just wanted to escape into the air-conditioned comfort of a department store. Fortunately for them, Ben Taverniti was waiting on the 7th floor of Barneys with a spread of citrus-y drinks, finger foods, and innovative styles of jeans. The head designer of Hudson Jeans, Taverniti lives the bi-coastal life and was happy to come out to New York to celebrate the debut of Hudson Jeans in Barneys stores. It is clear that the Hudson collection is headed in a very exciting direction. Styles on sale include a vintage ink washed harem jean with cargo pockets, a &amp;quot;reconstructed&amp;quot; jean with pieces of pockets sewn into different parts of the leg, and a bleached skinny jean with an extended zipper up the back of the leg. &amp;quot;All fabrics are sourced from the finest mills in Europe...they develop dedicated fabrications exclusively for us,&amp;quot; reveals Taverniti. While some stores might be intimidated by the bold designs of this collection, Barneys obviously knows a good thing when they see it and bought up all the best styles for the fashion enthusiasts out there. Get &amp;#039;em while they&amp;#039;re hot! Barneys 660 Madison Ave, 212-826-8900 barneys.com   Photos: Wayne Price.
