I appreciate Art as structure."
INSPIRED BY SHAPES AND SYMBOLS ASSOCIATED WITH ADORNMENT, MODERN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, EDDIE BORGO CREATES COLLECTIONS THAT CHALLENGE OUR IDEAS OF CLASSICISM AND LUXURY. EDDIE’S PHILOSOPHY IN JEWELRY COMES FROM HIS ATTRACTION TO THE TIMELESSNESS IN MODERN SCULPTURE AND SHAPE, AND AN OBSESSION WITH CAPTURING THIS SPIRIT IN HIS WORK. AS HIS COLLECTIONS EVOLVE, SO DOES HIS UNIQUE ABILITY TO CONSTANTLY REDEFINE OUR IDEAS OF MODERNITY IN JEWELRY, SCULPTURE, AND OBJECT.
EDDIE BORGO BEGAN HIS EXPLORATION OF ADORNMENT AT UNIVERSITY, ESTABLISHING HIS PIONEERING POINT OF VIEW AT THAT TIME. HIS FASCINATION WITH THE IDEAS ATTACHED TO SYMBOLISM IN JEWELRY BEGAN TO EVOLVE IN A STAGE OF EXPERIMENTATION, AT WHICH TIME HE BEGAN MAKING JEWELRY AS ONE OFF PIECES. HE FORMALLY LAUNCHED HIS NAMESAKE COLLECTION IN 2008 AND HAS SINCE BEEN COMMISSIONED TO CREATE JEWELRY FOR THE RUNWAYS OF BURBERRY, MAX MARA, PROENZA SCHOULER AND ALTUZARRA, AMONG OTHERS; IN ADDITION TO COLLABORATING WITH TIFFANY & CO. ON A PRESTIGIOUS TIFFANY x EDDIE BORGO LEGACY COLLECTION.
