MILAN, Jan 19, 2002 (updated Jun 21, 2009) / FW/ — British by birth, Neil Barrett trained under Miuccia Prada before launching his own label in 1998. Inventive and imaginative, he designs clothes which are hip and wearable.

His creations translate well from the runway to the sales floor. With a signature style of structured silhouettes with some military influence, Neil Barrett easily became the darling of the Milan fashion crowd since he launched his eponymous label.

Neil Barrett debuted on the Milan catwalk during the Fall 2002 season, and continues to show his menswear line there.

In September 2003, the designer was signed as Creative Director for a new series of Puma Collections, 96 Hours

During the Spring 2007 season, Barrett debuted in New York as he expands his market to this side of the Atlantic.
