Neil, Phoebe and I like you. Like, really like you. Thank you for taking the time out to show us the inside of your wardrobe this morning. Well, we say wardrobe, but we actually mean your archive of over 15,000 glorious garments designed over your esteemed 20 years in fashion. And, when we say 15,000, but we actually mean twelve, because that’s the amount you had selected from said archive for your special capsule collection for Harvey Nichols, Originals: Vol #1. Basically a top ten, but with two more. Because how, and why for that matter, would you be able to pick just ten? See it as a greatest hits. Or a Neil Barrett time machine – a block-coloured sweater from AW13, a leather-cuff coat from AW10 or perhaps that beautiful buffalo leather jacket from AW08, his signature – the first one ever made, as Neil told Phoebe and I, being in the possession of Brad Pitt. And the best thing about the capsule? Well, you can buy it. Right now, in Harvey Nichols’ special pop-up space, Project 109. And even better? Neil enjoyed digging around his archive so much he hinted there may be another archive collection to come. Originals Vol #2? Sign us up.
