GIABORGHINI
GIABORGHINI reinvents the approach to accessories: exciting design brought to life with Italian craftsmanship, supported by a growing global community. Founded in 2016 by Florentine entrepreneur and designer Barbara Borghini, GIABORGHINI is named after her daughter Ginevra, who is a strong source of inspiration. In a male-dominated industry, GIABORGHINI comes together organically, inspired by and led by women - female empowerment is one of the brand's key pillars. A pioneer in talent-brand collaborations, GIABORGHINI builds long-term partnerships with some of the most trusted industry insiders - including Danish influencer and stylist Pernille Teisbaek, who will be appointed Creative Advisor in Spring 2021, and model and entrepreneur Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - each bringing their fresh vision to the collection and gaining the support of international press and talent. GIABORGHINI is loved by notable women around the world, including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Gabrielle Union-Wade, Ashley Graham and Elsa Hosk. GIABORGHINI collections are proudly carried at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Neiman Marcus, Mytheresa, Selfridges, Browns and Luisa Via Roma, as well as select retailers worldwide.
Barbara Borghini is the dynamic force behind GIABORGHINI and has a unique understanding of fashion as a lifestyle and as a business. She grew up in Italy, where she was exposed to the highest level of expertise in accessories and footwear. She then studied communication and marketing in Rome before completing her Masters in Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins and Polimoda in Florence. After working in the industry for some time, she saw the opportunity to set a new standard in creating her own footwear brand. With access to unparalleled craftsmanship, she founded GIABORGHINI and soon welcomed collaborators, including Chiara Ferragni and Pernille Teisbaek, with the aim of giving women a platform for their design and moving the brand forward with fresh ideas through creative conversations. As the architect of GIABORGHINI, Barbara's success is built on a strong sense of community, knowledge of all aspects of the business and an intuition that cannot be taught.
