The latest collection from former Gucci mens design director and Prada Uomo designer, Neil Barrett, takes the unique name, Sartorial Gymnast. You won't find leotards and shiny Lycra here, instead Barrett interprets this theme through deconstructed apparel that is still somehow sharp and edgy. The fabrics are soft and allow for ease of movement but are also demanding for all but the slimmest of physiques. Perhaps the "gymnast" name come from the lean body you need to pull this look off. Barrett could give Hedi Slimane a run for his money with these unforgiving styles.
