In the Neil Barrett Spring/Summer 2012 Pre-Collection, the designer takes last year's predicted, but not really followed, trend of color-blocking and gives it new life by simplifying the designs with cleaner patterns and tailoring, and sticking to monochromatics for his color combinations.
The result is a collection of black and blue, creme and grey garments with slim tailoring and a modern appeal. Rectangles, squares and directional lines also help unify this collection, giving it a crisp, youthful look, and playing with geometric shapes without going into pattern overload.
The line of sporty casual wear seems to be made up mostly of soft cottons and nylons, and will give its wearer a refined, elegant and urban spring look. So if you're looking for a way to beat the heat this summer, chill out with these ultra-cool looks from Neil Barrett.
