11BYBBS PRESENTS “KEEP THE FIGHT” AS IT’S SS18 COLLECTION. AS PART OF THE BRANDS METHODOLOGY, VARIOUS INSPIRATIONAL THREADS ARE PULLED TO DEFINE THE COLLECTION BASIS.

A ROUND TYPOGRAPHICAL ARTWORK WINKS THE MOD SYMBOLOGY AS WELL AS A RISED FIST, A NORTHERN SOUL SYMBOL THAT REPRESENTS STRENGTH AND REBELION, APPLIED AS SUPER OVERSIZED GRAPHICS CHALLANGING THE PATTERN AND TECHINQUE LIMITS.

ON THE OTHER SIDE, A CONCEPTUAL AND ARTISTIC APPROACH, AN INTENTION TO MODIFY SILHOUETTES OPTICALLY BY APPLYING GRAPHICS INSTEAD OF VOLUMES, CHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF SHAPES WITH DISPARE APPLICATIONS AS MANUAL BRUSH AND SPRAY, SCREEN PRINTS OR EMBROIDERIES.

MORE OPTICAL EFFECTS ARE CAPTURED IN THE COLLECTION, BLURRED ARTWORKS APPLIED WITH LIGHT REACTIVE INKS THAT UNVEIL THE ARTWORK DESIGN IN THE DARK, ARE ALSO A STUDY ON PERCEPTION, A CHALLENGING EXERCISE BETWEEN THE EYES AND MIND.

“DISRUPTIVE DISCIPLES” IS THE 8TH COLLECTION OF 11 BY BORIS BIDJAN SABERI, INFLUENCED BY MILIARY AND STREET GANG REFERENCES FROM ALL AROUND THE GLOBE.
THE MILITARY INSPIRATIONAL SOURCE IS THE “DAZZLE” CAMOUFLAGE PATTERN, CONSISTING OF COM- PLEX DISRUPTIVE GEOMETRIC PATTERNS IN CONTRASTING COLOURS, INTERRUPTING AND INTERSECT- ING EACH OTHER. PANEL-PRINTED ARTWORK THAT MODIFIES THE WAY THE PATTERN STRUCTURE IS PERCEIVED. A FOCUS ON OPTICAL EFFECTS IS REPRESENTED BY A BOLD
ARTWORK APPLIED WITH EMBROIDERIES ON FULL PANNELS.
SEVERAL GANG REFERENCES APPEAR THROUGHOUT THE COLLECTION, FOCUSED ON BIKER GANGS AND HOW THEY USE SYMBOLS AS A FAMILY BOND. A COMMON THREAD WAS FOUND BETWEEN COLLEC- TIVES FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD, FROM THE JAPANESE BOSOZOKU SPEED TRIBES TO THE 70’S GANGS IN CHICAGO, THE WAY THEY USED TYPEFACE COMPOSITIONS MADE WITH PATCHES AND PRINTS, REPRESENTING STRONG BROTHERHOODS. A TYPE TEE INTERPRETATION WAS INTRODUCED IN THIS COLLECTION, A TYPOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION APPLIED ON GARMENTS AS PRINTS, PATCHES AND EM- BROIDERIES. ANOTHER RESULT IS A CROSS SYMBOL: A MASTER CROSS, AN EMBLEM THAT STANDS FOR STRENGTH AND UNITY.
MANY NEW STYLES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE BRAND’S EVER EVOLVING CATALOG, FOR EXAMPLE INTERPRETATIONS OF GARMENTS LIKE A BIKER LEATHER JACKET, A DENIM VEST, AN ALOHA INSPIRED SHIRT, AND WORKWEAR INSPIRED GARMENTS LIKE A CHORE JACKET OR A LOOSE FIT SHORT.

BLACK, DIFFERENT TONES OF GREEN, WHITE AND RED IN AS A SPOT COLOUR IS THE CHROMATIC SCHEME USED FOR THIS SEASON. TREATMENTS AS COATING FINISHINGS OR COLD DYING GIVE THE COLLECTION AN ASSORTED HUE OVERVIEW.
