Knitwear collective SIBLING are renowned for their unusual designs and they haven’t disappointed with their latest menswear range.
The designers said they hope their ‘fun and rebellious’ collection shows that today’s ‘knitwear is more than novelty Christmas jumpers and grey V-necks’.
While the clothes are definitely fun, they don’t appear to be that wearable – with garments including hats that obscure the face and coats that transform the wearer into a walking bauble.
The clothes were showcased on the catwalk today as part of ‘Fashion in Motion’ at London’s V&A museum.
Promoting the event, the V&A’s website describes SIBLING – which was formed in 2008 by Joe Bates, Sidney Bryan and Cozette McCreery – as ‘alternative and sometimes outlandish’.
They were certainly true to form with their latest designs which included marks inspired by the London riots and graphic prints influenced by the cinematography of the film West Side Story.
Mickey Mouse and Damien Hirst seemed to be among their other eclectic influences judging by some of the styles they revealed.
SIBLING said: ‘The V&A has a fantastic textile and fashion collection, displaying some of the finest craftsmanship from around the world, so we’re absolutely delighted to have been invited by the Museum to be a part of their Fashion in Motion series.
‘We’re looking forward to showing audiences that today’s knitwear is more than novelty Christmas jumpers and grey V-necks; that it can be fun, joyful, rebellious and young at heart.’
Fashion in Motion is a series of live fashion events presented at the V&A Museum with the aim of bringing the excitement and spectacle of the high fashion catwalk to a wide audience.
