It's early, it's sunny, and we're clambering into the basement of Victoria House. In the past few years, Sibling has surpassed being just a name on the schedule we recognize to being a standout. Known for their creative approach to knitwear, the designers came out with a strong Spring/Summer 2015 collection, slightly darker and more commercial collection.
As the show opened, the first male model stepped out in black crochet trousers, chunky-soled boots, and a patterned denim overcoat. The look was complete with a mohawk and a bone necklace. Patterned denim was a strong theme, until we were greeted with something we knew well: a bright-red, slim-fitting ensemble, knitted from head-to-toe. Now, that's the Sibling that we're used to!
Epic fringing followed suit. From what we're calling "eyelash-knit on speed," to what looked more like über-lengthy chest hair, it's clear the design trio of Sid Bryan, Joe Bates, and Cozette McCreery were having some fun and exploring the scope of their yarns across cardigans, neckpieces, pants, and dresses. Semi-sheer fringed fabrics swayed with vigor around the thighs, and elsewhere, hanging off jackets. There was also the heightened sense of sexuality (we’re seeing a lot of leg and buttock this week), but the overriding vibe of the collection was of a slightly gruesome Neanderthal world. That is of course, right up until the end of the show, when two walking, pom pom-like creatures made the crowd crack up with laughter.
