Long time not seen in times of emails: envelopes for air mails. Are these love letter pants promising a high flight?
Two
pieces on this page are really long in fashion; they haven't changed in
their basic design. Can you imagine which the old fashioned ones are?

Black/grey suit in asymmetric 'Jekyll & Hyde' cut by Neil Barrett and Palladium boots designed by Neil Barrett, FW 2010/11.
The Palladium boots are upgraded by the British, now in Milan living
designer Neil Barrett. The special edition of the military 'Baggy'-boot
in three leather variations premiered under the title ‚Palladium by
Neil Barrett’ on the runway at the Milan Fashion Week in January 2010.
When
Palladium was founded in 1920, the French label produced tires for the
aviation industry. Since 1947, the Palladium boot's basic design hasn't
changed. It was originally created for the French Government to supply
the legendary French Foreign Legion that was mostly stationed in North
Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Atlas Mountains). After its military usage,
it was discovered for workwear, and became later a fashion statement
for adventure and the exploration of unknown or forgotten places.
