Facets By Jordan Robson
Within the fixed frames of nine short films shot in 35mm, Facets presents an intimate portrait of nine distinct characters, each embodying a unique aspect of Panconesi. Inspired by Sergei Parajanov’s Kyiv Frescoes, these 30- to 40-second clips offer fleeting glimpses into private rituals and moments of quiet revelation.
Directed by Jordan Robson, Facets expands upon his distinctive approach to movement and storytelling, capturing the subtle interplay between body, jewelry, and space. His vision translates the language of adornment into cinematic form, where gesture and materiality intertwine to reveal new dimensions of identity and transformation. Featuring Michele Lamy, Anna Dello Russo, Malick Bodian, JoJo Legessa, Ambrosia Fortuna, Ceval, Kat Qiu, Izzy Spears, and Inge Grognard, Facets invites the viewer into a deeply personal universe, expressed through micro-movements and steady gaze.
Each character wears a family of jewels from Panconesi’s Spring Summer 2025 collection, showcasing the house’s signature codes of accumulation, movement, nature, and texture. Combining metal, crystals, natural stones, and vibrant enamel, the pieces become transformative—connecting the wearer to the emotional resonance of jewelry. Shot in one room, the space itself becomes a metaphor—a constant, a vessel for transformation—while the characters embody movement and individuality, shaping the whole.
Jewelry, in this context, is an extension of the self, echoing the brand’s philosophy that adornment is not idle decoration but an active dialogue between wearer and object — becoming talismans of identity. Alongside the film, Panconesi debuts a collection of nine one-of-a-kind objects that translate the brand’s expressive, imaginative world into tangible form. Everyday items—vases, a wine glass, a lamp, a clock—are reinterpreted through a new lens, drawing inspiration from the home of Marco Panconesi and Jordan Robson.
