)’s interest in clothes started at a young age, with his earliest memories involving wearing the same exact pair of pants every single day — “I hated the fit of the other ones,” remembers Barker — and wishing he could wear more on-trend outfits beyond a store’s kids’ section. “I would always tell myself, ‘When I grow up, and I can fit into men’s sizes, I’m going to have the best style ever,’” he tells NYLON.
Now, not only is Barker pursuing a career in music, but his fashion star is rising along with it, from runway modeling gigs to a new collaboration with BoohooMAN, which is set to release on Wednesday, June 15. “They gave me creative direction, and I was fully able to make it ‘me,’” explains Barker over a call on Zoom. “The inspiration was really just around how much I love fashion, and how I dress on a day-to-day basis.
When it comes to what Barker’s favorite wardrobe pieces are today, designer names like Raf Simons, Balenciaga, and Dolce & Gabbana come to mind, along with his steady rotation of jewelry, including a necklace that he claims to have not taken off since he was 10, switching up his eight ear piercings, and “lots of pearls, lots of silver.”During our conversation, Barker also recalls having his own clothing brand when he was very young. “I dropped collections with it,” he adds.
“I would start a brand, for sure, but it’s definitely something you need to put 100 percent into, or else it won't really work out,” he says. “But I do want to eventually go down that path and I’m going to work really hard on it when it happens, because I believe music and clothing connect with each other very well.”
