Monochromic, structural, and minimal can all be the words that describe Neil Barrett Spring Summer 2015.

Based in Milan while born in England, Neil Barrett is one of the leaders in minimalist menswear. Contrasting the usual flowy silhouettes, the strong presence of shorts, and the thinness of outerwear, the designer rotated the whole collection 360 degrees with dark colors, boxy jackets, and many pullovers. The vibe of spring only shows itself through the breath of the exposed ankles, along with the occasional sunglasses. The only yellow piece of the collection perhaps was the reminder for the February sun, when the cold still lingers. Lining the dark fabrics are metallic zippers and buttons, giving definitions to the already-defined cuts and seams.

Barrett's reinterpretation of the season is both exciting and odd. Rather, it's refreshing to not see floral prints or anything sheer. Although the designs might be deemed safe, it's very understandable for the designer to hold his shows in Milan as the clothes are minimally wearable and undeniably classic.
