Fashion designer and businesswoman Paloma Picasso was born in 1949 in Vallaurius, France. She is the daughter of artists Pablo Picasso and Franoise Gilot. At first, Paloma Picasso hesitated to enter the world of design. She did not want to be compared to her father, nor did she relish the unavoidable notoriety his name would provide.

Paloma Picasso has one of the most famous names in modern history. One of the most famous names in the history of art. A name that changed the world. And she wears it well. Because, alongside her enviably individual personal style, and her profound respect for and pride in her father's work, she is herself one of the world's most successful jewellery designers. Once she began to show the jewelry she created for Zolotas of Greece in 1971, critics were genuinely impressed. The success of the pieces Picasso produced for Tiffany and Company encouraged Picasso to design and market items ranging from fashion accessories to china. These items, including eyewear, fragrances, cosmetics, and leather goods, are identified by their bold shapes and brilliant colors. Her face is just as easily recognized. Posing in glossy magazine advertisements with her perfume, the designer has been described as "her own best model."

An exclusive Tiffany name, and one of the very few jewellery names and talents recognized and acknowledged all over the world.

Paloma Picasso is a woman designing for women. Her instinctively bold and graphic style exudes a rare resonance and power. Uncompromising and unmistakable. The designer has cleverly galvanized her innate sense of form and colour into mesmerizing modern statement jewels that have now come to stand for a whole new approach by women to wearing jewels today. Women are coming up to me now and telling me how they have bought my jewellery for themselves.

The idea of a talisman, a very powerful concept, lies behind every jewel. A jewel should be intensely personal and private, with a strong emotional depth, a sense of protection, which may come simply from the fact that someone gave it to you, or that you were bought it for yourself, as an achievement. A jewel should make you think of the moments you have lived with it.

At an early age, she was the subject of many of her father's works, including Paloma with an Orange and Paloma in Blue. Eventually, she turned to the field of fashion design and started her own company and brand, such as her eponymous perfume and a line of evening wear. She also still designs jewelry for Tiffany and Co. Paloma currently lives in the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland with her husband, Dr. Eric Thevenet.

Her first fragrance for women, Mon Parfum, was launched in Europe in 1984. Neither naive nor innocent, the Mon Parfum scent is, as Paloma says, "a perfume for women, not girls." Other women's fragrances include, Tentations, an expansive Oriental blend presented in hues of red and black, similar to her original signature fragrance. The bottle also bears an intriguing filigree motif. Introduced in 1992, her Minotaure for Men cologne is a sharp oriental woody fragrance. The cologne features a blend of fresh and sparkling oriental, with low notes of sandalwood and patchouli.
