Born in England, a fourth generation tailor, Barrett studied at both Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art. Immediately after his graduation, Barrett was recruited to work at Gucci, where he was appointed Senior Men's Designer.
After five years with Gucci, Barrett approached Prada's CEO Patrizio Bertelli proposing the start of a men's line: a few months later Prada Menswear was born with Barrett as Design Director.
In 2009, Neil Barrett created a production division based in Tuscany, where all sampling, production, and distribution are coordinated.
The brand has over 550 multi-brand stores[clarification needed] worldwide alongside a total of 31 mono-brand stores and shop in shops, whose concept has been developed with Zaha Hadid Architects.
