“Finding freshness and innovation in our everyday clichés through different angles of observation, the SS06 collection becomes a collage like composition of familiar sources in an unfamiliar way. When combining these elements their original identity ceases to exist and is replaced by a new foreign one.”

The creation of selfhood or identity is achieved through the process of assembly, creating an illusion of wholeness in place of remixed parts.” Borba Margo 2005

Borba Margo is a collaboration driven by the designers’ fascination with the processes of re-oberving, re-adapting and re-inventing. They combine beauty and function to their designs which range from clothes to furniture to accessories.

For their Spring Summer 2006 collection, Borba Margo intend to apply their philosophy with combining various elements of colour to add a sense of the luxurious and using a diverse mix of materials. For Borba Margo it is about “finding freshness and innovation in our everyday clichés through different angles of observation…When combining these elements their original identity ceases to exist and is replaced by a new foreign one. The garments flirt with the idea of being an accessory, accessories flirt with the idea of being furniture. They are all confusingly inspired by each other to the point where they mutate into unique and poetic objects.”

The label’s current addition is the much sought after Multicentric Belts. As the name suggests the idea is based on a belt with multiple centers. Groups of different sized and shaped brass buckles have been soldered into clusters and named Multicentric as they provide many centre-points to start from, giving the illusion of wearing a number of belts at once. All pieces are individually hand crafted and uses Italian “Yucatan” leather which is of supreme quality.

Borba Margo is stocked in exclusive boutiques internationally including Adelaide and Beams - Tokyo, Le Shop - Stockholm, Poepke - Sydney and in London’s Browns Focus and Dover Street Market.
