Saturday, September 15: Sister by Sibling
Designers: Joe Bates, Sid Bryan, and Cozette McCreery

• “Gosh, those Siblings lot don’t half put on a good spread. Calling upon W London to host a bespoke afternoon tea, the design trio behind Sister by Sibling–Cozette McCreery, Joe Bates and Sid Bryan … went one further than just feeding weary fashionistas, they showcased spring/summer 2013′s inspirational prints on the French fancies themselves. That’s dedication to a fashion-forward scone session that Team Telegraph can definitely get on board with.” {The Daily Telegraph}
• “This collection was oozing with attitude and all about having fun.” {ELLEuk.com}
• “Some of the most impressive outfits were a black fine knit jumper covered in 3D handstitched flowers from Hawthorne & Heaney and pink dresses covered in ‘flower beads’ in a lime green and pink harlequin pattern–10,000 of them to be exact. Amazing!” {Grazia Daily Magazine}
• “The team called the show ‘Warrior in Woolworths,’ inspired by the song of the 1970s band X-Ray Spex, and referred to what they called ‘young old-lady outfits.’ They included madcap fluffy headdresses with an icon named ‘Poly Styrene,’ just like the band’s lead singer. It was all rollicking good fun–with some enticing clothes.”  {International Herald Tribune}
• “What the Siblings do is a perfect paradigm of the state of British fashion now: cheery, colorful, and well-made, with a sly touch of humorous subversion slipped in somewhere. To wit: You would not have to know the first thing about Poly Styrene and her seventies punk-feminism to fall for the white raffia-frilled top and tube skirt.” {Vogue.com}
• “The smiles (gasp!) throughout and rapturous applause to close–whoops and cheers, in fact–were testimony that here are three friends, three professionals, just doing what they know best.” {Vogue.com UK}
• “Rooted in London street and pop culture, this women’s knitwear brand … is never short on fun and colorful motifs, splashed on twin sets, polos and pencil skirts. Added to their signature sparkly skull and leopard print motifs was vivid Toile de Jouy and Roy Lichtenstein-style brush strokes.” {WWD}
