Milan Fashion Week S/S 2012: Menswear
Neil Barrett
I wanted only new and fresh faces', Neil Barrett said backstage at his menswear show. He was referring to the porcelain-skinned boys with swept-forward hair, all looking rather underage. 'The truth is, they're a mix of ages between 17-27, but the key is that none of them have worked for more than one season'. The new faces proved to be a fitting canvas for the clothes, which offered a sweeping examination of Barrett's own archives. 'Old meets new' was also played out in the five classic menswear patterns the designer chose to work with - houndstooth, Prince of Wales check, Breton stripes, chevron, and chalk stripes - all of which were blown up and distorted out of their conventional schematics
