Keith Haring x Pandora | Jewelry Collection Launch Party
by Shei Marcelline
In a decadent homage to the late Keith Haring, last night Pandora guests celebrated the launch of the Keith Haring x Pandora collection. This is an exclusive collaboration that has yet to be executed by any global jewelry brand. Hosted by 'Fire Island' actor Tomas Matos, the event immersed attendees in a day-in-the-life experience following in Keith Haring’s footsteps. The experience entailed riding the NYC subway to stopping by his studio, to dancing at the infamous Danceteria. Paying homage to the icon is aimed at celebrating Haring’s impact on queer identity. Drag queens such as Serena Tea, West Dakota, and Chiquitita performed at the event.
DJ sets by Ty Sunderland, Bronze Goddess, and Kemi filled the air with music and guests danced the night away. Notable attendees included Tourmaline, Jasmine Kennedie from RuPaul's Drag Race, model Aaron Philip, skateboarder Leo Baker, activist Raquel Willis, and New York icons, Mickey Boardman and Michael Musto.
In essence, the event was indicative of Keith Haring’s New York—showcasing timelessness in the present and honoring the limitless bounds of art. The Keith Haring x Pandora collection launches today at Pandora.net.
