Neil Barrett has been nailing it the past few seasons; you have probably seen his collections on Justin Timberlake just as much as you have seen JT rocking Tom Ford. But the key difference between the two designers is their approach to menswear – yes, both cut some fine suits (Barrett’s are a little more razor edged than Tom’s) but what Barrett excels at is modern sportswear that doesn’t look like sportswear. I have to admit, my all time favourite leather jackets have come from Barrett. He just knows. While I will always be a fan of Jil Sander but Jil better watch out – Neil Barrett is stepping into the void of Jil Sanders as that house seems to keep repeating ideas without Raf Simons. Here are some of choices from their early Spring release for 2014 – you know I love my black and blue colour combinations. And besides who doesn’t love Mickey?
