A short report: Neil Barrett

One of most influencial fashion brands for me - Neil Barrettt:

Here a short brief of his career:
1989 After being graduated in Fashion Design he did hi Masters in Men’s Fashion Design from Royal College of Art in London and then begun his career working as senior menswear designer for Gucci in Milan.
1995 Design director for Prada lauching company’s first full collection of menswear.
1999 Launches Neil Barrett brand name collection of menswear produced by italian manufactors of Prada Group.
2003 First show in Milan AW2003 by Neil Barrett brand.
2006 Debut of Neil Barrett’s woman fashion with a first show in NY AW2006
2008 Launches the second menswear line exclusive in Japan for a younger audience - Black Barrett

“In 10 years Neil Barrett brand has become a leather among young fashion brands combining men’s and women’s retail with day and evening wear, shoes and accessories. Neils’ skilled British tailoring, combined with fine Italian craftsmanship, create his distinctive signature pieces that stand out for their attention to detail and timeless, always wearable, style.” in http://www.neilbarrett.com/

His creations just fascinates me, his minimalist style as well as neutral colors (black / white) combined with fine  fabrics and textures give the sense of luxury but wearable pieces you can't find anywhere else.

Next I'll present you my favorite outfits from the last shows in Milan. Hope you like it as much as I do.
