Her own language and her original formula for building collections have already consecrated her as an international reference for fashion, design and culture in Spain.

Collection lines
Pilar Dalbat celebrates 40 years of MBFWM with the ‘Solynieve’ winter 2026 capsule collection. The proposal is the result of her collaboration with the artist Palito Dominguín, muse who already paraded for the brand in its last presentation in September at the Madrid Fashion Week.
The starting point this time is Sierra Nevada, which was originally called ‘Solynieve’, alluding to the Granada ski resort with the highest number of sunny days in Europe.
Pilar has been thinking for years about developing a collection related to skiing, a sport she has been practising since she was a child in an exceptional environment which is also the most impressive skiline in her home town.
Palito Dominguín has developed for this collection a series of illustrations that revolve around a magical place and its history; an impressive sun, light snowflakes, the map of the resort's slopes or the protected mountain goat are among others some of the themes that, with her particular naive vision, lead us to a universe in which, like a child, she plays through drawing with colour and texture, forgetting proportions and dimensions.
Pilar Dalbat transfers this universe and fuses it with the silhouettes, fabrics and techniques of the house, developing a proposal that embraces the worlds of the two creators.
The capsule collection is made up of pieces halfway between the usual prêt-à-couture of ‘la granadina’ and a fresh, fun and original après-ski. On this occasion, the brand adapts to a different environment and lifestyle.
The warm garments are Pilar Dalbat's favourites. Layers, coats and blouses far from the ‘down’ concept that combine cashmere or boiled wool cloths embroidered with beadwork and beading with natural fur of mutton and fox. Other coats are the canvas on which Palito's hand-painted motifs appear.
Flowing dresses and romantic blouses match perfectly with jumpsuits in cotton and silk velvet and fur or patent leather boots. There is no shortage of high-waisted trousers, printed delphos tops, neoprene cropped trousers or the embroidered pieces that are usual in the Pilar Dalbat collections.
Among the accessories we find angora shawls with XL fringes, bags, chamois and crochet bonnets, all of them handmade by craftswomen from Granada.
The colour barometer combines sober colours such as grey, chocolate brown or dry green with flashes of powder pink, sage green or almost fluorescent orange. Of course, there is no shortage of gold and silver metallics and immaculate white for a technological and sporty touch.
Textilfy, a company specialising in the design of personalised prints, also took part in this adventure. For textile printing, the sublimation technique has been used on different bases (neoprene, cottons, gauze...). The pattern is printed on an infinite print on which any pattern can be cut out or motifs can be cut out and then applied to the garments to create an ‘embroidered’ effect.
In other garments, the motif has been scaled and placed on the pattern so that after printing, the garment can be cut out and made up directly. A collection with clues to include looks in the suitcase that are not only comfortable and warm, but also sophisticated and very trendy.
