Was thinking that this was the normal need to capture a bigger market share, typical when one has investors wanting more profit. I consequently believed this line would have a much lower price point, but the linked garments (posted above) are not evidence of this as they are priced within the same realm as his existing line, so what's the point? Simple market strategy to get people talking about the launch? One can hope that the new stuff won't have those annoying strings hanging from the backs of garments.

It is a diffusion line, but I agree with Pumpfish - it can be done right (see Silent). The main reason for this was the prices for designer clothing are getting out of control and if Boris manages to do this in a way that works well, why not. I think Silent basics are great, and so are DRKSHDW.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

is it a diffusion line?
jskidders post above appears to be accurate. and those don't feel like diffusion items or diffusion prices. and they are limited edition, not mass produced. i am confusedying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

Depends on your definition of diffusion line, I guess. These will be basics at lower prices than the mainline and will have more of a streetwear feel keeping in line with Boris's experiments with fabrics.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

anyway, back to topic: never occured to me that 11 could be more luxurious than the main line. exciting.

"11 garments and 11 accessories combine the experimental creations of boris bidjan saberi with thick denims, jerseys, heavy canvas and technical fabrics".
Anyway whether it be a diffusion line or no, as a huge BBS fan I'd love it if he made some more basic stuff at a lower price (t-shirts for example), but from the statement it seems that it'll be more heavy things than that. Can't wait to see what this ends up with

One possibility could be that 11 was conceived but the concept was not properly fleshed out before now, which is pretty common for a lot of designers..................and then he decided a diffusion line was maybe the best means of expressing what he wants to say within the context of 11
I honestly see Boris going the way of Rick in terms of keeping things interesting, expanding but not necessarily "selling out" and I also think that of all the brands discussed pretty often on SZ he has at the moment the greatest potential for expansionLast edited by zamb; 12-12-2012, 12:58 PM.“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
