The twin set, that stalwart of the Home Counties, is anything but conservative in the talented hands of the Sibling trio, who took inspiration from Holiday-era Madonna for spring/summer.

Vast bow headbands, rara frills on knitted dresses and a BodyMap-esque pattern were straight from the Eighties while a likeness of Her Madgesty appeared as an intarsia knit on a light blue sweater.

Hot pants, skirts and frill-fronted jackets in colourful needle-punched denim and neon-scrawled neoprene biker jackets provided the witty knitters' signature subversion. Bold, blocky shoulders were balanced against sheer ruffles while itsy-bitsy bralets paired with flouncy skirts were bolstered by crocheted crinolines.

Sex tape Xs marked the spot on one model's nipples, while many tops were teamed simply with knickers - some ruffled some gymkit simple. To borrow from another Eighties idol for a moment, this was a collection for girls who just wanna have fun.
