MILAN, Jan 19, 2010 / FW/ — Entitled “Iconic Hybrid”, the Neil Barrett menswear Fall 2010 collection is a shining example of mixing textures and different types of fabrics. Think of it as texture blocks, similar to the way we see color blocks.

What is interesting here is that Neil Barrett stayed within a very narrow color palette, with black as the dominant color. Hence we see an amalgam of buttery black leather with classic black wool jacket and a black and gray coat and/or suit.

Notable accessory or adornments are fabric-covered buttons that can be pinned anywhere on the garment as a group.
