The spirited spunky design trio:

Joe Bates, Sid Bryan, and Cozette McCreery

(image from showstudio.com):

the creative forces behind British label

Sister by Sibling

gave new meaning to the expression

‘larger than life’

…

Inspired by the big personality of the late

Paula Yates

British television presenter/host,

Sister by Sibling offered

a ready to wear womenswear collection

for autumn/winter  2013

featuring their quirky signature knitwear.

…

There is a quality of demure femininity

punctuated by scarves and hats of

gargantuan proportions –

 further accessorised with

black or white leather high-top trainers.

…

As is expected of

the trio’s design aesthetics

the clothing is delightfully

colourful, playful and fashion fun –

certainly a desirable element

for winter-wear.
