MILAN, Jun 28, 2005/ FW/ – Slim silhouettes and sixties reduced volume fills the wardrobe of the Neil Barrett man for spring summer 2006.

Mixing elements of the thirties via decoration and accessories such as laced shoes, Barrett gives a collection that takes a chance as he reduces jacket length, gives volume to the crutch of trousers before cutting them off at the ankles. The result is a sharp, tight and neat collection of day night essentials.

Tailored shorts with tuxedo side stripe are matched with jackets, leaving lightweight knit tanks to be worn at all times, and for special hints of exclusivity, why not tuck in a cumber bun. Bow ties are worn with casuals while driving gloves are a must always, anytime day or night.

Modern and contemporary, Barrett offers the chance for precision and cut without the stiff connotations of sartorial menswear.

Tuxedo shirts are jovial and painted on rather than the traditional stitched and cumbersome versions, leaving space even for a neat denim evening style.

In a color scheme close to Barrett’s heart full of chocolates and everything brown, along with hints of mellow strawberry, melon and tangerine, a wardrobe emerges that has a personality all of its own, strikingly neat or beaten and lived in.

For all his A list celebrity clients that includes Brad Pitt, to the simply fashion conscious bloke, this is a collection to sink your teeth into, have fun and still be completely and honestly masculine.
