Pomellato is exhibiting for the first time in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo, free admission until July 20th.

This is a first for the Milanese house. Pomellato, founded in 1967 around the concept of "ready-to-wear jewelry," is presenting its first Parisian exhibition, entitled "Pomelato, the Revolutionary Jeweler," at the Palais de Tokyo until July 20. The event, free but by reservation, is curated by Alba Cappellieri, professor and head of the Jewelry Design department at the Politecnico di Milano. Approaching its 60th anniversary, the Kering group brand is showcasing a journey through its archives, heritage pieces, and contemporary creations, highlighted by the contrast with the raw, minimalist architecture of the Palais de Tokyo. "Pomelato was born in a time of profound transformation. In society, culture, and the arts, a new consciousness was emerging, in which women were demanding greater freedom, independence, and visibility," said Sabina Belli, CEO of the group.

Iconic chains, colored stones, and big names in fashion photography

The exhibition traces the groundbreaking innovations that shaped the house's identity: the introduction of its signature chain, a sculptural approach to volume, the use of bold colored stones (including the minimalist Nudo collection), and a liberated vision of jewelry worn every day. Pomellato was also one of the first jewelry houses to entrust its campaigns to renowned fashion photographers, thus opening up a unique dialogue between jewelry and image. The exhibition brings together works by Gian Paolo Barbieri, Helmut Newton, Albert Watson, Horst P. Horst, Snowdon, Javier Vallhonrat, and Michel Comte, and presents for the first time images by Herb Ritts created for the house.
