The crystal house collaborations with designers Peter Pilotto, Christopher de Vos, Rosie Assoulin and Jean Paul Gaultier, alongside the continued evolution of the Core Collection, resulted in eye-catching, stylish and very interesting jewellery pieces. Members of the Swarovski Collective, and 2015 winners of the inaugural Swarovski Collective prize, designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos of Peter Pilotto have unveiled their debut jewelry range.
Titled ‘Arbol’, the collection features 13 styles of rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and a hairpin. Colors are bright and primary, and look like bits of candy in settings both geometric and organic, many inspired by tree branches.
Rosie Assoulin’s Jewel-y McHue-y collection features a blend of ton-sur-ton and contrasting colorways. For her first collection with Atelier Swarovski, the New York-based designer revamps traditional Georgian settings with modern materials, using bold, expressive Swarovski crystal to create an understated statement.
Reverse collection by Jean Paul Gaultier showcases the French designer’s continued exploration of ‘perfect imperfection’ in a series of asymmetric styles, some of which can be reversed and switched by the wearer according to mood. Evolving for Autumn/Winter 2016, the collection features the designer’s multi-faceted bespoke Kaputt crystal cut in a striking Silver Night colorway, set in ruthenium for edgy yet glamorous appeal.
Inspired by some of the world’s most beautiful rivers and the aesthetic connections flowing between water and crystal, Atelier Swarovski continues to evolve and expand its Core Collection for Autumn/Winter 2016. With the focus once again upon the innovative application of crystal cuts in contemporary jewelry designs that can be worn from day to evening, the Core Collection features a range of styles in three lines inspired by the Moselle, Kalix and Nile rivers.
Atelier Swarovski Autumn/Winter 2016 Collections will be available in selected Swarovski stores and independent retailers worldwide from September 2016.
