Paloma Picasso &ndash; a style icon, jewelry designer, and daughter of the legendary Pablo Picasso. Her story is a symphony of color, passion, and unbridled creativity.

Born in April 1949 on the French Riviera, in the modest villa "La Galloise," Paloma was surrounded by art from her earliest days. Her father, the great Pablo Picasso, and her mother, the talented artist Fran&ccedil;oise Gilot, created a world for her where creativity was as natural as breathing.
Paloma inherited her father's piercing dark eyes and Olympian calm. The little girl in blue dresses with ribbons often became a model for Picasso's paintings. He depicted her playing on the carpet with her brother Claude or holding an orange &ndash; these childhood moments, captured by genius, became part of art history.
However Paloma didn't follow in her parents' footsteps in painting. Instead, she created her own unique world in fashion and jewelry design. In the 1970s, she began creating jewelry that immediately caught the attention of famous Greek jeweler Zolotas. Her style &ndash; a bold combination of modern with baroque and Byzantine motifs &ndash; quickly became recognizable.

The 1980s and 1990s became a golden time for Paloma. Everything she touched turned to pure gold &ndash; both literally and figuratively. In 1984, she released her first fragrance, which became her signature. The perfume's advertising campaign featuring Paloma's portrait &ndash; an asymmetrical jet-black haircut, blood-red lips, and long red gloves &ndash; became iconic.
In 1987, a collaboration with L'Or&eacute;al led to the creation of the legendary "Mon Rouge" lipstick in a golden tube. This bright red shade became such an integral part of Paloma's image that she felt unrecognized without it.
Paloma's jewelry line for Tiffany &amp; Co, launched in 1979, conquered the world with its boldness and originality. Her jewelry with large semi-precious stones, often cabochon cut, surrounded by massive gold, became a true "fashion statement." Particularly famous is her Scribble brooch, inspired by New York graffiti &ndash; like an artist's brushstroke on a woman's chest.
Despite her fame, Paloma always remained modest and reserved. Her deep, beautiful voice is rarely heard in interviews, but each of her appearances is an event in the fashion world.

Today, in her 70s, Paloma Picasso continues to inspire. She manages her father's legacy, collaborates with the Picasso Museum and Tiffany &amp; Co, living between Lausanne, Marrakech, and Paris. In June 2024, her image was embodied by Jeanne Damas in the mini-series "Becoming Karl Lagerfeld."
Paloma Picasso is not just the daughter of a great artist. She is the embodiment of freedom, creativity, and passion. Her red color is not just a signature, it's a symbol of her unique path in the world of art and fashion.
