Borgo de NorUna floral-print silk-twill blazer

Founded in 2017 by Carmen Borgonovo and Joana de Noronha, Borgo de Nor emerged from a shared vision between two fashion industry veterans who met at a London dinner party. Borgonovo, originally from El Salvador and former Vogue fashion editor, joined forces with Portuguese-born de Noronha, who previously worked at Diane von Furstenberg, to fill a gap in the market for versatile, tailored dresses with standout prints. The London-based brand celebrates empowered women through boldly-printed dresses that transcend seasons and trends. Drawing inspiration from artists like Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington, each piece is named after real or fictional women and features hypnotically surreal, bespoke prints on romantic silhouettes. Borgo de Nor's philosophy centers on creating "feel-good dresses" that effortlessly transition from day to night, combining art-inspired glamour with joyful femininity. The brand's designs reflect the founders' eclectic backgrounds spanning El Salvador, Portugal, Miami, and Rio de Janeiro, resulting in pieces that bring celebration and confidence to wardrobes year-round.
