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.
