each and every one contributes
materially to his chance of survival.
Each has its own past, present, and
future.
The wearer needs
the layers, and each
and every one
contributes
materially to his
chance of survival.
In stripping away our sense of
time, of what is on-trend today, in
favour of a collection inspired by
an imagined tomorrow, Boris
Bidjan Saberi has created an
intense sense of need in his
collection. Not of desire, but of
actual physical requirement. It’s a
startling achievement, and one
which is further accentuated by
accessories; huge utilitarian
rucksacks, simple bold
headpieces, gauntlet-style
fingerless gloves, even masks
which evoke genuine armourplating. The entire collection is
calculated to create a sense that
you not only want these garments
but you’d jolly well better have
them if you’re to survive the
forthcoming apocalypse. And
that’s a strong statement to make
in 22 outfits.
