The exhibition titled Pomellato, Le Joaillier Révolutionnaire has been curated by Alba Cappellieri, Head of Jewelry Design at Politecnico di Milano.

On the exhibition, Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato Group, shared: “Pomellato was born in an era of profound transformation. Across society, culture, and the arts, a new consciousness was emerging, one in which women claimed greater freedom, independence, and visibility”, remarks

“In the creative fervor that powered Italian prêt-à-porter and the international rise of Milanese design, Pomellato pioneered an equally transformative vision of jewelry: refined, sensual, and unmistakably contemporary. This beautifully curated exhibition celebrates the Maison’s avant-guard approach to creative design, craftsmanship, femininity and image-making.”

Each Pomellato revolution is featured in it’s own section: The Revolution of Image, The Revolution of Craftsmanship: Iconic Chains, The Revolution of Style: Sculptural Volumes, The Revolution of Color: Audacious Gems, and The Empowering Revolution: Pomellato for Women.

The exhibition focuses on the jewellery and imagery that has evolved throughout the Maison’s history.

As the jewellery Maison was the first of it’s kind to work alongside leading industry photographers to capture their visual language, the exhibition presents their work and how Pomellato’s imagery has evolved throughout their history.

On the revolution of the photography, Vincenzo Castaldo, Creative Director of Pomellato, remarked: “I have always admired Pomellato’s bold and forward thinking decision to entrust the narrative of its jewelry to the greatest Masters of Photography. Their creative vision, over the years, has captured the brand’s unmistakable identity through images that remain timeless and indelible.”

Photographer’s featured are: Gian Paolo Barbieri, Helmut Newton, Albert Watson, Horst P. Horst, Snowdon,
Javier Vallhonrat, and Michel Comte and, for the first time, images by Herb Ritts within the story that traces the
Maison’s evolving vision of the Pomellato woman, decade after decade.

Curator Alba Cappellieri, shared “In the 1960s, the world of jewellery was deeply traditional, both in its aesthetic language and in its symbolic meanings. Pomellato broke with convention, transforming forms, materials, techniques, behaviours and the social symbolism. The exhibition is devoted to these revolutions and to the photographers’ discerning eyes that so masterfully captured and narrated them.”
