Life, Published on 26/07/2024
» Swarovski takes on motion and organic movement in its autumn/winter 2024 collection which sees a return to the brand's design DNA with mastery of light and expertise in crystal cutting taking centre stage as designs morph and shift into ultra modern silhouettes of mesmerising beauty. The new collection plays with form, deconstructing and reshaping pieces in unexpected ways to realise new visions of signature Swarovski families, including Millenia, Matrix and Hyperbola. Meanwhile, new collections like Sublima showcase unique stone cuts, cool colours and fluid constructions, combined in wavelike structures ablaze with kinetic energy. Building on the marine inspiration that flowed through the spring/summer 2024 collections, the new season designs merge Swarovski Crystal Pearls and Swarovski Crystals in bold shapes imbued with expressive elegance. Clear stones and rhodium plating herald the arrival of glamour, and exquisitely faceted snowflake motifs welcome the holidays with brilliance. The new Swarovski jewellery collections are available at select stores and online at swarovski.com.
