A closer look at some of the pieces from the capsule collection, using up-cycled denim and crystal. We spoke to @swarovski creative collaborator and @elvdenim Founder, @annafoster as part of our #SwarovskiFashionStories series. “I truly admire @swarovski’s commitment to sustainable development. Rather than down cycling their crystal they use it as a positive resource, allowing brands such as myself to use them creatively, producing limited edition capsule collections.” #SwarovskiFashionStories #SwarovskiCreativeCollaborations @swarovski #swarovski #swarovskicrystal #crystal @elvdenim #elvdenim @annafoster #annafoster #denim #consciousdesign

World-renowned couturier @alexandrevauthier has collaborated once again with Swarovski to channel the magic of crystal and explore the rich tradition of Parisian ‘métiers d’art’ in his Autumn/Winter 2020 haute couture collection. “For this collection, created during these challenging times, I wanted to focus on what was most important. I wanted to return to my heritage and to the essentials of Haute Couture through the incredible embroideries with @Swarovski crystal created by Maison @Lesage. Every detail has a modern vision, but also a touch of exuberance. These masterpieces are the true symbols of les Métiers d’Art, as well as the DNA of Alexandre Vauthier. This is what I call the balance between heritage and the now. These are the new perspectives.” @alexandrevauthier #alexandrevauthier @Lesage #Lesage #SwarovskiFashionStories #SwarovskiCreativeCollaborations @swarovski #swarovski #swarovskicrystal #crystal
