Neil Barrett

Neil Barrett founded his eponymous brand in 1999, debuting on the runway in 2000, at Pitti Uomo, Florence. Ever since, Neil Barrett has delivered innovative and distinctive designs, with acute attention to fabric development and fits. The hallmarks of the Neil Barrett label are a modern interpretation of a daily uniform, alongside striking, streamlined styling for the twenty-first century. Masculine, ageless and wearable, Neil Barrett designs combine precisely-cut tailoring, accurate detailing and athletic elements, covering a wide spectrum of fits to cater to the diversity of international markets while maintaining the sharp silhouette the Brand stands for. In 2006 Neil Barrett expanded into womenswear with the same clean, contemporary outlook. The collections offer women the same bespoke-quality finish, handcraft and luxurious textile as his menswear collections, alongside Neil Barrett's trademark purity.

In 2009, instead of investing in retail stores, Neil Barrett chose to strengthen the very heart of the brand by creating a production division based in Tuscany, from where all sampling, production and distribution are currently coordinated. In countertrend with most fashion houses, 85% of the collections are, actually, Made in Italy. Moreover, the decision to independently reinvest in the production platforms - without a financial backer - coincided with a continued belief in focusing on Italian fabrics mills, new technologies and artisan producers. 2011 began with the strengthening of distribution: a Neil Barrett boutique opened in Landmark, Hong Kong, shortly followed by two mono-brand openings in Seoul, South Korea. Recently, Neil Barrett opened boutiques in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Macau, continuing the partnership with architect Zaha Hadid for the store-concepts. Since the birth of the Brand, celebrities - with Brad Pitt at the forefront - have appreciated the modernity of Neil Barrett collections. Throughout the years, the label became a favourite of Ewan McGregor, Mark Ruffalo, Orlando Bloom, Jamie Dornan, and Justin Timberlake, who wore an exclusive Neil Barrett wardrobe throughout the “The 20/20 Experience Tour”.
