London Jewelry Week 2008: Swarovski “Fashion Rocks”

For the past five years, Swarovski has celebrated Jewelry Week (jewelry world’s equivalent of Fashion Week) with a fantastical, collaborative runway show. This year’s designers included Erickson Beamon, Hussein Chalayan, Ana de Costa, Christopher Kane, Rodrigo Otazu, Marios Schwab and Pippa Small, among others. The cohesive element is the crystals themselves, so each designer was able to run wild with their imaginations resulting in looks that are at turns ethereal, fantastical, gothic … you name it, it was done. Although the disparate looks don’t result in the kind of clearly unified collection that a Couture or RTW strives for, it makes things just a bit more visually interesting for the viewer.
