In Borba Margo’s approach, there is the constant quest for innovation. The designs are always looking for the now and tomorrow, even if they are inspired by historical or classical references. Throughout the time, with the signature style evolving and maturing, the key elements stay the same: modern proportions, the interplay of construction and new shapes, illusory play and inspiration. Sometimes it is the material that triumphs, other times it is the shape. For Borba Margo, to date, shape has been heart and consequently the victor but for this season the duo has re worked their previous striking shapes, grounding and reassuring the label‘s signature, and shifted their focus to the surface. With a starting point of close up photographs representing 15th century stained glass of religious murals, Borba Margo collaborated with print/textile designer Ricardo Matos to develop and produce a series of silkscreen prints. These were then examined through digital photography and reworked into abstract design compositions. By combining the manual print technique of screen printing, flock transfer and laser cutting – depending on the individual imagination – these compositions began to resemble animal prints, paint splashes and burn holes.
The newly employed processes has added a new layer to the surface both as a texture as well as configuring a new meaning to existing shapes which has re emerged with a new presence. A luxurious leather’s selection which includes fine leather nappa in a sober colour palette in different shades of dark; dark brown, dark burgundy, dark navy, dark brown and black, where prints being mostly tone on tone create a subtle play of light and shade with the exception holding a vibrant crimson texture print.
The look of the collection is sensual, simultaneously sculptural and tactile. The ideas are modern but possess a classical feel and a fantasy quality; they are pieces that you can live with. The production of Borba Margo has been re located to Italy. The majority of the pieces are now being exclusively ready made to a superior quality by highly skilled artisans in a factory on the outskirts of Venice.

Opening today at Transition Gallery in Hackney, London, we recommend you to check the Tamsynettes, a series by artist Tamsyn Challenger.
“Tamsyn Challenger broadly concerns herself with the steady march of time upon the body; on her own, on those whom she loves, male and female, and on the desperate ravages inflicted on a woman’s form by the warping of beauty into an ideology, where the natural becomes perverse.
As a documentarian she has born witness to gender violence and the subsequent lives no longer in extant. Inevitably, this colours a palette and she has recently been utilising body parts, actual along with representational, as a visceral reminder of mortality to a detached audience.
Conceptually led, her work toys with the forces of modern popular culture as blind-siding. The nipping and tucking of whatever is at hand to under-pin an image and the passivity of watching to create identity often moves Challenger to reunite fairytale such as The Snow Queen and Snow White with their gruesome roots.
Living up to her name Challenger wants to challenge the viewer to resist the all-pervading post-modern ethic whilst by her own admission being the most post-modern woman she knows.
At Transition Challenger will introduce The Tamsynettes. Forever versions of herself for you to play with.”
Tamsyn Challenger trained at Winchester School of Art and KIAD. She has worked as a collaborative artist with the Magdalena Festival in Barcelona and with Triangle theatre. Her work has been exhibited in the Truman Brewery and Candid Arts in London. She has also produced documentary work for the BBC, ‘My Male Muse’ receiving Radio 4′s ‘Pick of the Year’ accolade. For the past five years she has undertaken a conceptual installation based in portraiture that comes to fruition in November 2010 in Shoreditch Town Hall. This work includes collaborating with over 150 different artists and is a project she conceived of in Mexico that focuses on the murdered women of Juarez
