Picone
Giuseppe Picone
Giuseppe Picone was born in Naples in 1926. As a youth
he worked in the family-owned glass-works and started
designing plates. He met the Vogue photographer Regina
Relang, who convinced him to take up fabric design. In
1958 he moved to Rome and continued to work as a
fashion stylist and as a ceramic artist. In the early sixties
he worked with the famous brand Cole of California. His
creations were exhibited in the New York shop windows of
Saks, Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale as in other big shops
in America, Canada and Brazil. In the 70’s he worked with
Biki Japan, producing around 15,000 pieces a year for the
group, in collaboration with his wife Dominique Giroud,
who became the stylist of the “Studio Picone”. They
designed bags, shoes, spectacles, watches and lots of
other accessories, which were very successful. He died in
2008. This book presents a rich and stimulating selection
of many of his creations, from the first ceramics to the
many graphic motifs printed on fabric and the hundreds of
designs for leading Japanese companies
