Saberi was born on September 11, 1978, in Munich to a German mother and Persian father. His parents both worked in fashion, running their own label, and introduced their son to the industry early on. He studied fashion design in Barcelona, graduating in 2006.

While still a student, Saberi launched his first label, a leather accessory line called ‘UCANFUCKW’ in 2003 or 2004. After graduation, he launched his own-name label in 2006. While he lives and works in Spain, Saberi has regularly presented his collections at Paris Fashion Week, though he debuted in Barcelona. The avant garde nature, sombreness, and elegant “schlampigkeit” (sloppiness) of his work has led to comparisons with Ann Demeulemeester and Rick Owens.
