Pomellato, the renowned Milanese jewelry Maison, dazzled guests at an exclusive gala dinner held at the historic Museo della Permanente in Milan to celebrate the unveiling of its latest high jewelry collection, “The Dualism of Milan.” The collection, comprised of 51 handcrafted pieces, pays homage to the city’s unique juxtaposition of austere urbanity and vibrant creativity.
The gala evening, attended by celebrities and friends of the brand, including Carla Bruni, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, and Lucy Hale, was a testament to Pomellato’s commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and its deep connection to the city of Milan. CEO Sabina Belli, Creative Director Vincenzo Castaldo, and Chief Marketing and Product Officer Boris Barboni were among the notable figures who joined the festivities.
Guests were immersed in a visual and sensory journey that mirrored the collection’s inspiration, with linear shapes and bold colors reminiscent of Milan’s architectural treasures and artistic spirit. A captivating three-dimensional performance by the Kataklò dance theatre company brought the city’s dynamism to life, while a modern and minimalist dinner setting, adorned with iconic Milanese design pieces, provided an elegant backdrop for the evening’s culinary delights.
Michelin-starred Chefs Negrini & Pisani crafted a menu that reflected the city’s dualistic nature, offering both linear, rational dishes and bold, unconventional flavors. The unveiling of the collection’s video and a showcase of the high jewelry creations on models further captivated the guests, highlighting the intricate details and unique materials that make each piece a work of art.
“In combining these two apparently opposite faces of Milan — one concrete, the other intangible, each with its own character — this high jewelry collection gives us a true, in-depth, multi-dimensional view of the city,” said Vincenzo Castaldo, Creative Director of Pomellato.
The event captured the essence of Milan’s enduring spirit and timeless elegance, with DJ Graziano della Nebbia’s soundtrack setting the mood for a night of celebration. The collection itself, inspired by the city’s iconic landmarks and infused with unexpected color combinations, speaks to Pomellato’s deep-rooted connection to Milan and its unwavering dedication to creating jewelry that embodies the city’s unique charm and artistic legacy.
“The Dualism of Milan” collection is more than just a display of exquisite craftsmanship; it is a testament to the unbreakable bond between Pomellato and its home city. The collection serves as a bridge between the concrete and the intangible, the austere and the creative, capturing the multifaceted spirit of Milan in each meticulously designed jewel.
