NEIL BARRETT Men's Fall/Winter 2014 Fashion Show

A distinctive feature of the Fall/Winter 2014 collection by English designer NEIL BARRETT is the play of contrasting fabrics . Leather, boiled wool and silk come together and separate, creating bold and contemporary contrasts. A seemingly simple collection, but well-studied and full of innovative elements, such as the return of the double-breasted jacket in a modern key. The color palette is rather dark: black, dark red, burnt brown . The trousers are worn rolled up at the ankle and reveal the sock, the oversized bomber jackets , thanks to the contrast of fabrics, take on new identities. The key piece of the NEIL BARRETT collection is undoubtedly the sweatshirt , an element that wants to replace the jacket, a decidedly contemporary and informal hybrid. The graphic elements follow one another, mostly the lightning bolt, sharp and symbolic, alone or in texture. Finally the theme of degradé , which runs through the entire collection, from coats to shoes.
