TRR has long been a fan of the couture-like awesomeness of menswear knitwear label SIBLING. But, alas, there were always two frustrating, heartbreaking hurdles in the way that felt like a hard slap in the face meaning, “No bitch, not for you!” 1) The eyewatering prices and 2) It’s for the menz, duh. Many-a long night was spent praying that some day, somehow, we will own some Sibling…
 
Well, thank heavens, sing Halleluiah, our Lord in the shape of Philip Green has answered our divine pleas. Topshop have joined forces with the label to create SISTER by SIBLING – a wallet friendly capsule-line for les femmes that has all the wondrous hallmarks of what makes them so great: the Gothic motifs, the animal print, the twinsets, and oh, those sequins!
 
We love the Skull Fair-Isle cardigan and sequin embellished leopard print sweater dresses. Everything is priced at £95 – about a tenth of what the menswear line costs. Says Cozette from Sibling;
 
“For SISTER by SIBLING we took all the influences from our menswear mood boards and remixed them, putting an X chromosome into our male brand DNA. The line is also a small thank-you to all the boys who supported SIBLING but whose girlfriends stole their sweater – now you girls can buy your own!”
 
Amen.
 
SISTER by SIBLING drops in selected Topshop stores on November 24th
