French designer and founder of Rouje, Jeanne Damas, initially declined an acting role as Paloma Picasso in Disney+’s upcoming series, but eventually agreed after learning more about the groundbreaking artist. Damas channeled her own experience in the fashion industry to portray Picasso, a trailblazer who forged her own path in jewelry design and fragrance. Picasso’s style, including her signature red lip, inspired the fashion politics and trends of the time, and her impact continues to resonate today.
