11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi

11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi is the lower-tier diffusion sub-line of Boris Bidjan Saberi, the avant-garde menswear brand founded in 2007 in Barcelona by German-Iranian designer Boris Bidjan Saberi. The 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi sub-line was launched in 2010 as the brand's more-accessible price-tier sub-brand, with the main BBS line serving as the higher-tier flagship-collection. The 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi vocabulary settled around several recurring elements: deconstructed leather-and-technical-fabric outerwear with deliberately experimental hardware-and-strap construction, the brand's iconic distressed and dye-treated cotton sweatshirts and hoodies, heavy-cotton drop-crotch sweatpants with deliberately archival-technical-fabric construction, the brand's recurring use of bonded-membrane and reflective fabrics, and a colour palette anchored almost-exclusively to washed-black, washed-charcoal, oxblood, and the brand's recurring use of natural-undyed and acid-dye-treated tones. The sub-line presents at Paris Men's Fashion Week each season alongside the main BBS collection. The sub-line is part of the broader Boris Bidjan Saberi parent house, headquartered in Barcelona. 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi distributes through every BBS flagship store globally — anchored to the Barcelona flagship (the brand's home), plus international wholesale through SSENSE, MR PORTER, MATCHES, Dover Street Market, Antonioli, LN-CC, the broader European-and-Asian avant-garde-luxury specialty retailers, and the Boris-Bidjan-Saberi-and-Rick-Owens-DRKSHDW-and-Carol-Christian-Poell-and-Julius constellation of avant-garde-luxury menswear retailers. The sub-line has been one of the defining post-2010 'avant-garde-luxury-streetwear-diffusion' lines.
