Instantly and without backing, Barrett achieved what it takes most designer brands years and millions of quids to do. The collection was bought by over 100 designer stores worldwide and everyone (especially the American buyers) loved the intelligent, quirky but totally wearable gear.
A collaboration with luggage label Samsonite enabled Barrett to develop his design ideas even further. The Family Travel Wear Summer 2000 Collection is inspirational. Gilets (with foldaway hoods) turn into rucksacks, Walkie Talkie jackets feature foldaway hoods, ear pieces and walkie talkie pockets and Travel Jackets come with inbuilt travel pillows and eye patches.
For winter 2000 and his first catwalk outing, Barrett has created both a menswear and a womenswear collection. An assortment of restrained and wearable pieces, with subtle detailing, eased their way down the runway.
