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.
