Even if you don’t know the name Martin Katz, it’s almost certain you’ve seen his work, as the designer has for more than 25 years bejeweled A-List celebrities on the Hollywood red carpet, including Sharon Stone, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Nicole Kidman.
The famous jeweler and philanthropist Martin Katz has redefined luxury lifestyle in Beverly Hills for more than three decades, garnering millions of impressions daily and adorning thousands of celebrities and notable figures worldwide with his limited-edition, couture jewelry. Now, Katz has announced a major expansion of his business with a new lifestyle brand, appointing Prominent Brand + Talent as his exclusive global brand representative.
Since 1988, Katz has created international experiences that extend from the world’s finest locales to its most famous fingertips such as the famed Victoria’s Secret Black Diamond Fantasy Bra to Donna Karan’s million-dollar Golden Delicious fragrance bottle, to the Ray Ban sunglass collaboration and the Gold Key award-winning Martin Katz Jewel Suite at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel In Manhattan, to name a few.
With his latest collaboration, Katz will lend his extraordinary creative vision to the development of an array of lifestyle products across a broad range of categories, including apparel, accessories, beauty, bridal, giftware/collectibles, home décor, bedding, bath, electronics, spirits/wine, gourmet foods, and stationery, as well as Martin Katz retail stores in select cities around the world and hotel boutiques.
“I have enjoyed translating my vision for creating rare gemstones into a globally successful high jewelry business and have appreciated the opportunity to work with so many talented people over the years from the world of entertainment to heads of state and prominent business professionals said Katz. “I look forward to working with Prominent Brand + Talent to share my aesthetic and artistic style with the launch of my new collection of affordable luxury products.”
