BORIS BIDJAN SABERI is a half German, half Persian menswear designer born on September 11, 1978 in Munich, Germany, to a Persian father and a German mother. These biographical factors play a fundamental role in Boris’s formation : they combine dual systems such as West/Middle East traditions and form/formless garments with the designer’s passion for numerology. 11 is in fact the symbolic trademark of the brand and the name of Boris‎ Bidjan‎ Saberi’s additional line. In 2007 Boris‎ Bidjan‎ Saberi launched his eponymous label, establishing his atelier in a place that fully represents the designer’s complex philosophy. In the frame of Monistrol de Montserrat, Saberi settles his first headquarter, later transferred in Barcelona. Monistrol as well as the current atelier stand for the geographical exemplifications of a secular spirituality, as in these industrial archaeology sites Boris develops the outlines of his alchemist laboratory for contemporary investigations. The designer matures a peculiar clothing language through the celebration of his innate heritage between European and Middle-Eastern culture. It is therefore the burst of an instinctive primitiveness in which raw materials and accurate tailoring fuse together.

BOULDERING IS FREEDOM

Climbing without ropes or harnesses over rock formations or artificial walls offers unique mental and physical challenges. As a keen climber, Saberi wanted to expand and enhance the apparel possibilities of bouldering. His personal connection with the sport together with his existing partnership with leading mountain sports brand Salomon resulted in a paradigm shift in bouldering style: the Athletic Bouldering FW23 collection. Created in collaboration with legendary climber Fred Nicole and So iLL, the collection brings together technical footwear, clothing and backpacks in a specific design language that both embraces and transcends utilitarianism.
