IOSSELLIANI, JEWELRY BRAND FOUNDED BY PAOLO GIACOMELLI AND ROBERTA PAOLUCCI

Iosselliani was born in Rome from the creative flair of Paolo Giacomelli and Roberta Paolucci, a couple in life and in business. She grew immersed in the world of fashion thanks her mother’s work, who was a haute couture seamstress. He learned the techniques of the goldsmith tradition in one of the last goldsmith workshops in Rome. From their meeting Iosselliani came to life.

Notably, the craftsmanship, the mesh, woven with a weave of a hundred metal threads per square centimeter, fossils, the use of leather are peculiarities of the designer’s style. The processing techniques are classic, but oriented towards the new, inspired by contemporary art, pop and underground. The collaboration with designers such as Yohji Yamamoto and the brand Comme des Garçons were important for the growth of this jewelry artist. Today Iosselliani is a globally known brand. The first flagship store opened in 2005 in Rome, followed by those in Tokyo, Osaka and New York, each marked with an identification code.

The Iosselliani style is born from the fascination for the universe of past and present symbolic forms. It’s based on archetypes, models, fragments belonging to different eras and places, selected, recoded and inserted in an ecosystem of strongly recognizable and absolutely original signs. Within this sophisticated world of references and provocations, Baroque architecture is associated with modernist lines, medieval Gothic is combined with punk elements, while the aesthetics of the Twenties discover unexpected similarities with pop and ethnic inspirations.
