“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. THE FLEECE COLLECTION HAS ALSO GROWN, ADDING A LONG ZIPPED SWEATER OR A SHORT RUNNING PANT, AMONG OTHER PIECES.
THE COLLECTION ARRANGED BY AN ELLABORATED ASSORTMENT OF LIGHT FABRICS, FROM TECHNI- CAL LAYERED FEATURES TO A LIGHT JAPANESE SELVEDGE DENIM. ALREADY AS A PART OF THE BRAND NATURE, EVERY SINGLE FABRIC IS SELECTED WITH DEEP CONSCIOUSNESS FOR EACH PURPOSE.
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.
