PARDOhats, a Barcelona-based brand founded and led by Sol Pardo. Hats, hair accessories, jewelry, clothing, belts, bags. SS26 Formas y Colores drop: ten pieces of bronze jewelry, made using the champlevé technique, fire-fired at over 700°C, crafted by Exo Enamel Craft House.
Formas y Colores is the season’s first drop. Ten jewelry pieces conceived as a double gesture: earring or brooch, as you wish. Each piece begins as a bronze plate, then is enameled with vitreous powder fired above 700 degrees, using the champlevé technique: an age-old craft that few contemporary houses still dare to wield. Production is entrusted to Exo Enamel Craft House, the brand’s close partner workshop. Caracola, Sol, Granada—the names say it all: sea, sun, fruit. A Latin grammar, silken, worlds away from today’s Nordic minimalism.
As with every introduction of pieces at PARDOhats, Sol Pardo invited Venezuelan artist Daniel Santoló to co-direct the photo essay that accompanies the launch. The result: inhabited images that turn the collection into a stage set as much as an object of desire.
