SIBLING
Collection TWO > Following
on from their successful first collection, which was sold
exclusively at BEAMS in Tokyo and featured in publications
including i-D, Another Magazine, Wonderland, Arena Homme
+ and GQ Japan, SIBLING is proud to present their sophomore
outing.
Harder, better, faster and stronger, the trio of Sid Bryan,
Joe Bates and Cozette McCreery - who have worked on runway
knitwear for the likes of Giles, Alexander McQueen and Jonathan
Saunders - return with a wardrobe of pieces that play on
contrast.
Intent on giving knitwear for men a kick up the arse (their
no-holds-barred mission statement), two silhouettes dominate
Collection 2; the ‘Classic’, and new-for-this-season,
the ‘Deviant’, an all-over flat shape that when
worn gives dramatic volume.
The uncompromising colour palette runs from pale grey through
beige, navy, neon pink, marigold, royal blue and khaki.
Select pieces available in shimmering black options add
a darker, poetic undercurrent to a collection of optimism.
Playful subversion of classic styles is a concept at the
core of SIBLING. The reworking of code continues in Collection
2 with twinsets imagined in leopard, a boy’s school
blazer with retina-popping trim and even a wholly-accurate
knitted take on the iconic trenchcoat.
SIBLING’s signature Ratus Ratus motif - in which beaded
rodents infiltrate a killer cashmere - is reworked in new
colourways whilst appearing on matching scarves for the
first time.
Texture, another prominent theme this season, is most prevalent
in not only the Deviant Camo Crew, an at-times gauzy construction
of four different yarns but also the Deviant SIBLING Crest
Sweater, which features plush monkey and lurex embellishment.
Three tribute pieces debut - an authentic knitted trench
coat and cotton bow a cotton bow sweater in homage to Monsieur
Yves Saint Laurent and a black, foil-laminated, knitted
biker jacket in reference to the wardrobe of painter Francis
Bacon.
Finally, as a dedication to their friends and fiercely loyal
supporters (well, that and a tongue-in-chic joke), the I’M
WITH SIBLING mohair sweatshirt is the trio’s high-end,
hand-embroidered take on a clichéd tee.
Additional pieces to debut during London Fashion Week presentation,
including the unveiling of a concept-only, one-off showpiece
to replace The Ram from Collection 1. Are YOU
with SIBLING?
