About: Frida Kahlo once said: “I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better.” With strong female figures like Kahlo and fellow artists Lenora Carrington and Hilma af Klint as inspirations, Carmen Borgonovo and Joana de Noronha’s eponymous label celebrates empowered women, who dress for themselves, and live life fully as both master and muse.
Borgo De Nor was born of a mutual desire for the feel-good dresses reminiscent of its co-founder’s eclectic backgrounds; from El Salvador and Rio de Janeiro to Miami and Portugal and a gap in the market for versatile, tailored dresses. During research trips in London’s museums, the friends and fashion industry experts shared rousing conversations about free-spirited, independent and fearless women, which evoked the brand’s inimitable DNA: with individualism at its core, Borgo De Nor’s boldly-printed dresses aren’t defined by seasons or trends, but are named after women both real and fictional.
