Swarovski, the world’s largest producer of cut crystal, has commissioned leading international designers from the worlds of jewellery and fashion, to create their ultimate vision of jewellery for the Catwalk. The designers have each been invited to find new creative expressions for crystal, challenging conventions of form and function, playing with colour, volume and proportion, bridging jewellery, body ornament and fashion. In each individual, thought-provoking, couture-inspired design, Swarovski crystal is the hero. The result is Swarovski Runway Rocks.

This dazzlingly provocative collection of hand-made, one-of-a-kind, original Runway Rocks crystal creations, unveiled during Paris Couture in the lavish surroundings of the Hotel Pozzo di Borgo, includes works by names from around the world, including Vanessa Seward of Azzaro, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hussein Chalayan, Antonio Berardi, Rodolphe Rousseau, as well as top jewellery designers Philippe Ferrandis, Johnny Rocket and Pianegonda, and directional accessories designers, Ed Griffiths, Johanne Mills, and DoAn. From Hussein Chalayan comes a cape with an integral kinetic jewelled collar, showing crystal in motion, while Rodolphe Rousseau embraces his signature draped and pleated bodice with an exquisite crystal-studded chained harness, architectural and Art Deco in flavour.
