Neil Barrett has been designing fashion apparel for over twenty years. Both his grandfather and great grandfather were master tailors, and Neil’s passion for tailoring began at an early age. Following his graduation from the Central Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design, Neil earned his Master’s degree in men’s fashion design at the Royal College of Art in London. His designs attracted Gucci, where Neil began his professional career. Working in Florence for Gucci in the early 1990s, Neil gained extensive commercial and industrial experience. He was quickly promoted to senior menswear designer. After five successful years, Neil presented a project to Prada, proposing the launch of the company’s first designer menswear collection. Under Neil’s direction, Prada became renowned among fashion insiders as the forerunner of “minimalist” menswear. In 1999, Neil launched the Neil Barrett brand with his men’s collection, made in the finest Italian factories. The first, free-standing Neil Barrett brand store opened in the trendy central Tokyo Aoyama shopping district in 2001. Neil Barrett joined the Milan Fashion calendar featuring his men’s collection in January 2002. In 2005, DNR assessed the designer’s style as unpretentious and polished, noting: “Like the independent designer he is, Barrett always brings an element of grit to his handsome collections. There are never pretty-boy pretenses or sexed-up overtures, just great clothes for real guys.”Brand Details
