Swarovski has created a space-inspired Crystal Galaxy collection through 4 variations of the galaxy in a cold palette of black, midnight blue and frosted clear crystals, for the coming fall/winter 2016/17 season. From constellations of stars to planets in orbit, from the colors of the cosmic night to shapes of sparkling icicles, Creative Director Nathalie Colin captured a kaleidoscope of elements she translated into fashionable pieces featuring modernity, brilliance and remarkable craftsmanship.
“CRYSTAL GALAXY” is the perfect theme to play with light and shadow and to create some pieces exuding this mysterious appeal of the galaxy, either in a figurative or in a more abstract way. We worked on round and 3D volumes, new shapes like double open rings versatile silhouettes in a a gradation of shades evoking eclipses, stars and constellations.” explains Nathalie.
Stars and Constellations
“Fatal” line of the stars and constellations collection goes for a bold interpretation and merges the timeless elegance of pearls with cool and modern PVD.
Planets in Orbit
“Festival” line of the Planets in Orbit collection epitomizes this tribute to Supernovas, with an on-trend combination of pearls and metallic spheres. Still keen on offering versatile options, the long pendant can be removed to wear the torque alone, while the ring can be worn with the spheres sitting either vertical or horizontal on the finger.
Cosmic Night
This Cosmic Night collection features the iconic color coating Swarovski created for Christian Dior in the 50’s, Aurora Borealis. This holographic effect infuses its mesmerizing and vibrant rainbow shades onto a range of jewelry that favors organic lines.
Icicles
The Icicles collection gives full light to an icy inspiration – become spiked necklaces, frosted elements turn into fluid chandelier earrings and clear crystal is the hero of this frozen universe. Even watches exemplify the mood with mother-of-pearl cases.
