Following a masters degree in menswear at London's Royal College of Art (and a Central St Martins BA preceding that), Neil Barrett was offered his first professional design position for Gucci in Florence. After 5 years of accolades and success, he jumped ship to Prada, where the legendary label's first menswear collection was launched under his direction.
In 1999, Neil launched the Neil Barrett brand with a consistently wearable and cross-generational style, combining exemplary tailoring techniques and master-craftsmanship, for a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
