NEIL BARRETT



Can we just talk about how amazing Neil Barrett's S/S '14 collection is? Like. Despite how much I love clothes, I hardly ever watch runway shows or review collections just because of their inaccessibility for me as a consumer. But every time I see a piece from this collection, I just think, "Damn! Dat's a fine shirt." It's fantastic. It definitely references his past collection in terms of a restricted color palette and use of shapes, (which is what I love in clothes myself). However, unlike his A/W '13 collection, this newer one features more organic, unrestricted shapes. Even the squares in the plaid are arrayed in a way that can only be described as a playful frenzy. I wonder if you could DIY the simpler pieces.... It's just so good, man.
