To the music of New Young Pony Club’s “Ice Cream” (featuring the lyrics “I can give you what you want”), Mr. Barrett stepped out on the runway wearing a striped shirt, green wide-legged trousers, and sneakers. He accessorized this with thick gold chains on his neck, dropping down to his chest, and on his wrist. Tattoos on his arm said, “0% Interest” and “Psycho.”

He’s a super cool guy, and always a breeze to work with. It’s great to have one of the biggest names in fashion representing Penshoppe.”
