Boris Bidjan Saberi, collection SQUADRON FW16-17

The « Saberienne » SQUADRON Winter ‘16/’17 collection is military inspired…

After the reds and blues of the HEIMAT and SUBSPHERE collections, the SQUADRON collection explores the functionalities of the uniforms of skydiving parachute commandos.

Boris Bidjan Saberi reinterprets traditional parachute equipment in an avant-garde masculine wardrobe, as if gravity had transformed the shapes of these military units and redefined the contemporary masculine silhouette.

The streetwear heritage of this designer is rediscovered in the highly elaborate construction of functional linings and in a system of retractable volumes. Here, side and inner straps in parkas allow lengths to be adapted to all body types.

The monochromatic palette of greys, blacks and dirty whites highlights the designer’s taste for experimental finishes.

A craftsman’s touch, blended with the continued search for functionality in the equipment of parachute commandos makes an ideal exploration ground for the very singular handprint of this designer.
