I'm still learning, so this may not be right...but is this a military look? I do like it, whatever 'look' it is! HeHe That model's physique in the first picture is quite nice too!

I don't like it, the details and the placement of them seems off to me. And I feel a certain staleness here.

seems rather boring to me....

It seems like Neil Barrett joined the "pyjamas pants/longjohn" trend...

.. and frankly, his version don't look as good as say, Ann Dem's & Dries'..

 

[Ianastar]

Very Flat to me.

I'm disappointed so far. I usually think Neil Barrett's stuff is unique and interesting while still being practical, but this stuff is... yuck/blah?

I hate overtly military clothing (like use of badges, etc.) If want that I'll buy army surplus. It would be more interesting to me if he flipped the colors, but used the shapes and design details, albeit tweaked.

plain, boring...I do'nt like it at all

 

[JuiceMajor]

Bland as a white bread!!

I heard he had his first name deed polled to 'Yawn'. It's pronounced like siobhan.

wow , i love it! maybe it's the setting, or the photos, or the colours...but these clothes trigger all these memories.

very spiritual. i'm sure that wasn't the intention, but it's fantastic

andif i were taller i'd snatch thoe long johns up in a minute!

i like the army green shirts esp in post 1 with the small black tie though some of the pants and cummerbands are rather too weird to me.

Not his best. This isn't a very good overall collection - the only detail I really like is the creasing/pleating on the shirts. I think this is 'ok', but nothing amazing. It's certainly something I could wear, I like it for the wearability. I assume that the individual pieces don't have any special features to them, such as interesting fabrics, construction, etc. - I've seen some things from him upfront that are so plain and generic..and I've seen other things that were rather nice, but not very special.

In look 3, is that a sequined belt?!

I also saw an interview with him once where he went shopping in Milan and went to a store and started saying "Oh, Justin Timberlake has this jacket" blah blah..and that makes me really doubt him.

i really like the two coats posted - the brown leather one and the army green one towards the end. i agree about the use of patches and other military accoutrements - i think that's sort of tacky. but i like the simplicity. the guy in the hotizontal picture in post 2 looks like a girl

 

[Arturo21]

^ I really thought it was a girl...

 

[.francesca]

i thought so too, but what would a girl be doing there? i just assumed it was a guy.

Neil is a very talented designer who is not one for excess in design. Although his stuff may lack runway trickery, the fit and details are great and the clothes have a longevity that is a rare thing in the fashion world. His upscale fabrications also scream research. I don't believe his purpose was ever to push the envelope of "fashion" but offer a valid cool wardrobe for his clients. And their are many.

Recent shows often include girls as a preview of their womenswear. For Neil it serves as a showcase for the small line he's recently started some season's ago. It also displays some sense of continuity in design approach.
