COUTURE, BUSINESS & EVENING WEAR
Partnership with leading designers, both well established and recently arrived, has characterized Swarovski’s philosophy since 1895. With a vast array of possible applications, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS impart luster and brilliance to fabrics and trims, enabling these rewarding collaborations to continue to produce some of the most dazzling creations in haute couture, business wear and eveningwear today.
22 WAYS TO SAY BLACK
SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS commissioned 22 of fashion’s most notable known names and talented newcomers to design one-of-a-kind little black dresses for the initiative 22 Ways To Say Black. On September 20, 2010 at the acclaimed gallery, Phillips de Pury & Company in New York City, under the high-patronage of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the one-of-a-kind dresses were auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society and La ligue nationale contre le cancer in France.
The twenty-two participating designers included Alberta Ferretti, Alexis Mabille, Azaaro, Boudicca, Catherine Malandrino, Diane Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Fendi, Gaspard Yurkievich, Gianfranco Ferre, Giorgio Armani Prive, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lanvin by Alber Elbaz, Mario Schwab, Martin Grant, Missoni, Phillip Lim, Sonia Rykiel, Thakoon, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood.
