Swarovski
– Passages of Night
Written By: Lisa L. Genese

| Swarovski has done it again!!! Swarovski has managed
yet again to perfect the gift of hand cutting
crystal, and the capturing of light as well
as taking an ordinary clutch, bracelet or
necklace and making it Magical! The inspiration
for the Autumn/Winter 2008-2009 collection
is the woman of the night and Swarovski
included hints of inspiration from punk
rock. Swarovski added innovative shades
of purple Heliotrope, Bermuda Blue, and
shades of grey. Swarovski’s blacks
are not always black and are instead inhabited
by mysterious glints. |

Swarovski has also brought back the robot charm
as Elvis, since last season’s girl
robot did so well! The rings are much more
creative giving them a 3d effect and we
adore the ornate clutch bags with a bow
closure adorned with all white crystal.
The workmanship is hard to replicate.
For a second season, Swarovski has done
a Red Carpet Collection, which is only worn
by the A-list celebs. Items are beautifully
handmade and are not sold anywhere - - the
woman that wears this work of art becomes
a jewel herself.

| Daniel Swarovski has a limited edition collection
that is sold in only four stores in the US
one located in the Rockefeller center in NYC.
All the pieces are not only handmade and strung,
but the leather on all the exquisite bags
are exotic skin with intricate detailing of
crystal combination. One of Swarovski’s
pieces of art is a tie necklace, composed
of large pyramidal crystals that run the length
of a long voluminous pampille, or its ultra-long,
extra-chic version. In addition to the jewelry
piece are a violet crocodile “Fiction”
clutch bag set off with an enormous Point
cut crystal, or the “Fabulous”
model, with its embroidered crystals interlaced
with chains of jet crystal and its long metal
clap. |
 |
| Finally for this season, Swarovski is launching its
new signature the “Swanflower”.
The Swan became an instantly recognizable
symbol of Swarovski in 1989 when the company
introduced it to mark the progression of the
brand into a new era. It links together the
worlds of fashion, design and crystal living.
Daniel Swarovski explains: “It adds
body and soul to the organization, and provides
a strategic design base that will provide
inspiration for all our lines and collections,
season after season.” |

With the exception of the Red carpet
Collection and the Daniel Swarovski line.
You may find all the other beautiful handmade
crystal pieces at any of the 100 stores
across the country.
