The Bite Magazine - Spring 2019 - Issue 24

C ollaborating with Reebok, DB Berdan presented flair with an edge through a truly signature streetwear collection. Bright colours popped in luminescent detailing and an identity was explored through the varia- tions of bold individual stylings, creating a punchy line up of looks. Patch-work- ing was done in a masterful way, utilising colour blocking and intense colour accents through the details. The designer behind this brand hails from Istanbul and prides their work on the ethos of inclusivity. A brand strong on story telling through prints, combin- ing music and film influences as a means of expression, each DB Berdan catwalk is a parade of inclusivity and a challenge of social norms. Featuring both men and women in their shows, DB Berdan is a bold, fun, inclusive and experimental brand with strong roots in sportswear inspired design. Slouchy and cool this season the catwalk featured decon- structed and reconstructed garments using sports fabrics.T-shirt dresses made of recycled necklines and patchwork logo tees creating a new definition of graphic print. Deconstruction and repurposing cloth- ing and style into a new look is such a nice way of creating an identity and DB Berdan has this down to a fine art. Models had their own style adding to the celebration of individuals and per- sonality that this brand champions. Approaching the topic of self-made in an era of copycat fashion and trends, it’s nice to see a young brand so keen to express themselves in an approachable and easily adaptable way, which is something the designer holds true to herself and her brand’s strong identity. www.dbberdan.com bite catwalk DB BERDAN DB BERDAN
