Who is Malu Borges?
Malu Borges is a fashion influencer from Rio who has been very successful on social media recently. Malu has always been interested in the world of fashion. This is because her mother, Marcia Borges, is a fashion and business consultant, in addition to being a professor in the field.
So, from a very young age, Malu had an interest in this universe and in putting together different looks, so to speak. “I always had a bit of that growing up”she said in conversation with the Gshow website. “My mother inspires me a lot and is always in tune with the people around me, experiencing all of this with me”added the influencer.
But in addition to her mother, the influencer also has model Bella Hadid as a reference, who even opts for looks considered “outside the box”.
Malu Borges lives in Petrópolis, is married and has a daughter named Maria Isabel. The little one even frequently participates in her mother’s daily content, becoming a huge success with her mother’s followers.
Malu Borges’ career
Although fashion is an old passion, it was only last year that the influencer began to invest in her studies and then put together the looks that were talked about on social media.
“I like to step out of the box. It seems strange, but people in the fashion world will understand”, explained Malu, justifying that her looks are not for everyone. And this is confirmed by the comments on her videos. While some people praise Malu’s style, others believe that this is not part of reality.
However, she says she doesn’t care about the negative comments on her looks and content. “I have always been very well-rounded and deal well with criticism. My goal is that I like it. I don’t want them to love everything I post. I don’t care if they don’t like it”revealed Malu to the Splash website.
Malu started to gain prominence and had a lot of impact on the networks with a bubble towel from the Bottega Veneta brand. The accessory that literally looks like a rolled towel costs around R$24,000 in Brazil. In addition to the peculiarity of the piece, what caught internet users was the extremely high price of a product that became a laughing stock for many people.
“The towel bag opened a lot of doors. Intuitively, my videos followed this path, and even though I still didn’t work very hard with it, when I saw things were happening I said: ‘Wow, how wonderful! I’m going to start working with what I love”says Malu, who after that gained thousands of followers attentive to everything she posts after that.
Expensive and controversial looks
The fact is that Malu is widely criticized and praised due to her expensive and peculiar accessories. However, she states that fashion has its importance in the way people behave. “It is expression through clothing, through hair, through a series of things that help to create an aesthetic, a desire at a given moment. When many people adopt the same shape, it becomes fashionable at that moment.”she said.
She likes to dare and doesn’t care about the value. For example, the deconstructed sneakers launched by the brand Balenciaga, which also caused a lot of controversy on the internet, Malu revealed that she would wear the piece, which is basically an old, worn-out sneaker that costs R$10,000.
“For sure! It’s more than just an expensive sneaker, it tells a story. It’s the post-apocalyptic world, after the pandemic.”and would you buy these sneakers?
