Behind the Label: Eddie Borgo


Who started it? Jewellery designer Eddie Borgo, a longtime favourite of noted fashion stylists Tabitha Simmons and Camilla Nickerson, launched his first collection just over two years ago. Borgo, who has collaborated with designers such as Marchesa and Phillip Lim, combines punk influences and urban architecture-inspired shapes, making him a favourite among today's hip young things.

Why we love it: the architectural, geometric pieces are edgy and have a mystical vibe, which appeals to the likes of Alexa Chung, Blake Lively, Diane Kruger, Rihanna and Victoria Beckham, and are often seen in editorial fashion shoots.

What we'd pick: the bow-pendant (above; HK$10,790) is beautiful and we are loving the chunky, gunmetal-plated, crystal cone bracelet (left; HK$9,990), both of which are versatile enough to match any look.

Where can you get it? Eddie Borgo is available at Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2118 2288.
