Infinite Variations: The Art and Strategy of Chess-Inspired Apparel

A new apparel company, Infinite Variations, is introducing a distinctive approach to customized apparel as evidenced by their chess-inspired brand, Infinite Variations Chess Apparel. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the brand was founded by Eddie Saldana and Mary Roderick Saldana, whose combined backgrounds in engineering, human resources, and creative design contribute to its development.

The company specializes in high-quality apparel featuring intricate chess-themed designs. Each piece is created using professional photography and custom illustrations, reflecting strategic elements of the game. The brand aims to offer a fresh perspective on chess apparel by integrating artistic representation with high-quality materials. The name "Infinite Variations" carries both personal and conceptual significance. It was inspired by Eddie Saldana’s late uncle, whose encouragement to "dream of infinite variations" influenced his outlook on life. The name also reflects the vast possibilities within chess itself, where potential combinations after just a few moves reach astronomical numbers. 

Infinite Variations emphasizes craftsmanship and adaptability in its designs, catering to chess enthusiasts and those with an appreciation for strategic artistry. The company seeks to expand its creative scope beyond chess, exploring influences from streetwear, dance, combat sports and fully customized merchandise solutions for companies utilizing their innovative approach.

Eddie Saldana’s background adds another layer to the brand’s identity. Having trained in Muay Thai at Sityodtong Academy in Somerville, Massachusetts, worked as an engineer and has a background in poetry and creative writing, he brings a unique perspective to apparel design. The company’s founders view Infinite Variations as a platform for creative expression that extends beyond conventional fashion trends. As the brand develops, Infinite Variations is working to establish its presence within the broader apparel market.
