In celebration of Swarovski's 120th anniversary, this is the
much-awaited and first significant book on the premier maker of
luxury crystals. Swarovski crystals have had a multifaceted
significance in the world of culture--from elaborate embroideries
for Christian Dior, to the ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz, and
one-of-a-kind commissions for crystal chandeliers by top
contemporary designers--yet there has never been a visual
celebration of this heritage until now. Organized in four sections,
this book looks at the history of the world-renowned crystal house:
"Fashion" examines Swarovski's role in couture, from Coco Chanel
and the fashion of the 1930s and '40s to Alexander McQueen; "Film"
showcases fashion and jewelry created for the cinema, from costumes
for Greta Garbo to set pieces in James Bond films; "Jewelry"
celebrates elegant pieces from the house of Dior to the innovative
designs by Zaha Hadid and Philip Treacy; and "Design" examines
lighting and art installations, from Tord Boontje's crystal
"Blossom" light to the Swarovski Crystal Palace installations at
Design Miami. Swarovski's storied heritage and the brand's
cutting-edge presence today, including its collaborations and
kaleidoscopic influence, will be fascinating to lovers of fashion,
design, and film alike.
