As an only child I am without brothers or sisters, but having a look through the latest issue of Fashion156, I was really excited to see London based label Sibling appear in the mens fashion spread - the kind of sibling I'd be happy to have!
This label isn't just designers - they operate as a kind of collective with artists, DJ's, illustrators and musicians all collaborating with the label.
Since the whole genre, for lack of a better word, of knitwear is really going off right now, with boundaries being pushed all over the place, it's only right that the mens sector is getting their own slice of the pie. Sibling seem to want the whole pie and the cherry, which they may or may not knit into a sweater!
They describe themselves as "bold and progressive", which couldn't be more apt. A huge knitted animal head adorns one sweater whilst others feature sequins, animal print and neon and beaded twinsets.
Of course I would be delighted to wear any of Siblings work myself.

Menswear needs more designer/design collectives like Sibling! I love the whole fashion spread in the latest issue.

Love that crazy horned animal in the top row.

I love the looks in the right-hand photo in the second-to-last row. I'd wear them too.There are a few others I could do, too.
It's an imaginative line. I like the wacky twists.
I wear knitwear on top almost exclusively, so anything new is exciting to me.

Oh my gosh I suppose this will be another brand i'd have to go to London to get my hands on right? I would gnaw off one of my arms to get that epic orange and green animal print sweater <3 not to mention the big 'ol purple fur collar coat.

I am also an only child who would looooooove a Sibling. But only in knitwear form, that is.

That ramshead shirt is probably the coolest thing I have seen in a LONG time. I love how the horns curl under and make little cap-style sleevies.
Bet those beads on the pink collar look like pointillism close up :D.

oh my god. i LOVE both items in the second row--the ridiculous sweater and the even more ridiculous fur-trim hood! ahhh!

As a guy I'd say I can wear some of the sweaters (the ones with patterns are lovely). the sequin number is a bit kooky for a guy like me but I'd be delighted to try one of those!

Ooooooh, sequins! Sign me up for that stuff too.
