Borgo Magic
In keeping with the tradition of using his famous stylish fans as his models (Vanessa Traina, Lauren Santo Domingo, and Kate Lanphear, to name a few), Eddie Borgo brought on V’s Cecilia Dean to star in his latest ad campaign. “Cecilia was a natural progression for us; she exemplifies all those mysterious, sexy elements of [...]
Tom’s On Top, Giovanna ♥ New York,
Grès Gets Her Due, And More…
Everything’s (still) coming up Tom. Mr. Ford’s hot streak continues, as the designer is the only fashion designer named to the annual Time 100 list, out today. Guess even a faux used-car commercial or two can’t keep the guy down. [WWD]Fashion editrix and street-style star Giovanna Battaglia has relocated to New York, which gave the [...]
Eddie Borgo Shows His Teeth
Never a bad thing to have friends in chic places. Eddie Borgo’s coveted jewelry would stand just fine on its own, but Borgo’s habit of shooting it on his famous fans—like Vanessa Traina, Lauren Santo Domingo, and, for fall, Kate Lanphear—never hurts. Lanphear is the star of Borgo’s latest online campaign, shot by Paul Maffi [...]
Eddie Borgo, Under Padlock And Key
Eddie Borgo made the trip east to Williamsburg last night for Ray-Ban’s Iggy Pop blowout—no huge surprise, given the jewelry designer’s punk leanings. But for his latest spring collection, Borgo tells us he’s going even more hardcore. “I’m looking at different types of constraints, and what being constrained means, in its most aggressive sense,” he [...]
First College, Now Spring Break
Today I’m in sunny Saint-Tropez for Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Resort show, but last Thursday I was in hot and balmy Savannah at the city’s College of Art and Design for a panel discussion with Ruffian’s Brian Wolk and Claude Morais (that’s us onstage). Sandwiched between Keegan Singh’s talk on styling and Hamish Bowles’ lecture on [...]
Rebuilding Equipment
Once upon a time in the late seventies, Christian Restoin—the longtime partner of Carine Roitfeld—married the aesthetics of Network and disco with a line of breezy silk menswear-styled shirts for women called Equipment. Throughout the eighties and nineties, they were the linchpin day-to-night item in a smart city girl’s wardrobe. For a label to shutter [...]
A Day In The Life Of: Eddie Borgo, Jewelry Designer
Over the past year, Eddie Borgo has become one of New York’s jewelry design darlings. To wit, his neo-punk chic cone bracelet was the accessory for editors to be sporting during fashion week. Like many young American designers, Borgo headed this week to Paris for sales appointments—and yes, some shopping and parties. Here’s what Eddie [...]
Eddie Borgo Sets Off A Fringe Frenzy
Two words: metal fringe. Guests at last night’s private sale of Eddie Borgo baubles were going gaga over the designer’s new group of bracelets and necklaces fringed in metal—a reaction the designer was definitely anticipating. “I’ve been dying to make these pieces,” explained Borgo, showing off a super-sized silver bangle punctuated with some seriously disco [...]
Mary Katrantzou’s Olfactory Fashion
Back when she was growing up in Athens, Greece, Mary Katrantzou had a perfume collection. “Then I got bored with it,” the designer says. “And that was that.” Now Katrantzou has another perfume collection. At her debut fashion show in London on Tuesday, Katrantzou will be sending out a group of dresses based on prints [...]
frank tell goes goth
What do you get when you put together Veruschka, Louise Bourgeois’ “Cells,” and Siouxsie and the Banshees? Paillettes, according to Frank Tell. The designer has traded in the silver ball appliqués of his Polly Magoo-inspired Fall collection for embellishment with a bit more swing this season, the better to make his runway debut. “I felt [...]
