Neil Barrett has become an important name on the menswear scene, having built up a career over 20 years in the industry, at one point working for Gucci in the 90's before leaving to work for rival house Prada and then ultimately to found his own label in 1999. Fast forward to present day and his name has become synonymous with designer men's clothing, and in particular, leather jackets. A true international designer, British born, Neil Barrett now works in Milan and produces his clothes in the finest clothing workshops of Tuscany, Italy. Obsessive about quality and craftsmanship in his range, Neil Barrett menswear has of course then been taken to heart by the Japanese, and in 2001 he opened his first store in the influential fashion capital Tokyo.
Neil Barret menswear sits at the opposite end of the designer spectrum to other flashier Italian brands: the clothes are designed for 'everyday men' and can be worn in everyday use (but don't let that make you think the clothes are not incredibly well made and designed) and his clothes will add an understated finishing touch to your outfits, sure to draw appreciative glances from those who understand tailoring and fine craftsmanship in clothing.
Neil Barrett has also collaborated with PUMA and more recently Palladium footwear on several ranges of sport and military inspired footwear which complement his clothing collections.
Particular favourites which appear in each of his collections, whether Spring Summer or Autumn Winter (the Neil Barret line is a now permanent fixture on the Milan fashion show calendar) are his aged signature 'Neil Barrett' leather jackets and blazers, expertly crafted in his Tuscany workrooms in strictly limited numbers.
