Boris Bidjan Saberi is an up-and-coming designer who is half German and half Persian. Saberi’s S/S 2008 collection presented in Barcelona, Spain is an expression of his desire to explore his Persian heritage. His preference for [black fabric, leather and hooded garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) speak of a [fusion of traditional fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scorpion-the-frog) from Iran and Western styles. Saberi’s collection is another example of the rise in prevalence of fashion from Iranian designers. As Saberi divulges to [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care), “My neverending story is the Persian part of me. It’s my most unknown part and I have a desire to find all the answers to my questions. My life is sort of a neverending search of new invention and experiments which I couldn’t stop.” Saberi acknowledges that while his German and Iranian heritage has certainly influenced his life, hip hop culture has also played integral role in shaping his interests. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Iranian-western Fashion Fusion:** The blending of traditional Iranian fashion with Western styles presents an opportunity for designers to innovate and create unique garments. - **Exploration of Cultural Heritage:** Designers who delve into their cultural heritage to fuel their creative process can produce original and meaningful collections that appeal to a wider audience. - **Personal Storytelling Through Fashion:** Fashion designers who infuse their personal experiences and stories into their clothing lines can create a deeper connection with consumers and build brand loyalty. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has the opportunity to embrace diverse cultural influences and create collections that celebrate and represent different traditions. - **Textile Manufacturing:** As the demand for unique textile designs increases, the textile manufacturing industry can explore innovative methods for producing fabrics that incorporate both traditional Iranian and Western styles. - **International Trade:** The rise of Iranian fashion provides an opportunity for international trade partnerships and collaborations, fostering cultural exchange and economic growth. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iranian Fabric Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iranian-fabric-design.md) - [Iranian-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saba-yazdjerdi.md) - [Vegan Fashionable Boundering Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athletic-bouldering-shoe.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Candle Brand Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rizon.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md)
