New York, September 8, 2017 – Jason Wu integrated Swarovski crystals into his Spring/Summer 2018 collection and showcased his latest jewelry collection for Atelier Swarovski on the runway today at Fulton Street Market during New York Fashion Week.

Wu embellished dresses with large asymmetrical crystals sewn on to printed fabric in neutral, golden and blue tones. Wu also showcased pieces from his third season with Atelier Swarovski. For Spring/Summer 2018, the designer has evolved his ‘Mosaic’ collection with an elegant and sculptural range of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings in clear and Silvershade crystals encased in polished gold-plated settings. Wu has also designed the ‘Prisma’ Collection, a versatile everyday range inspired by ‘Mosaic’, which will be more widely available in stores.

Creatures of the Wind presented its Spring/Summer 2018 collection at Skylight Clarkson Square this afternoon during New York Fashion Week. As part of its aim to drive positive change towards a more responsible fashion industry, Swarovski supported designers Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters to create a collection with sustainability at its heart. For the collection, entitled Further, the duo developed a custom lacquer featuring Swarovski Crystaldust, which is created as a by-product of Swarovski’s crystal cutting process. Over 1.7 million Swarovski Crystaldust pieces were applied as a finish to re-worked, one-of-a-kind leather coats, skirts and boots.

Gabier and Peters were inspired by “the expansion of ideas and consciousness, making oneself available to new perspectives and possibilities, and the consideration of the existence of new worlds.” Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters commented: “We’ve always tried to take a very careful and conscientious approach in our process of making and manufacturing. We go to great lengths to ensure that we are not wasteful in our development and in our material consumption. For our Spring 2018 collaboration with Swarovski, we chose to focus on one technique that we developed specifically for this season. We are using Swarovski Crystaldust as a ‘paint’; applying it as a repeat pattern over leather coats, skirts and boots. As it’s a by-product of other Swarovski components, it’s inherently sustainable.”

Jeremy Scott integrated 400,000 Swarovski crystals into his Spring/Summer 2018 collection, presented this evening at Spring Studios during New York Fashion Week. This collection marks the 20th anniversary of Scott’s namesake label, for which Swarovski has been a longtime supporter and collaborator. The show featured four nylon tulle looks covered entirely in Swarovski crystals – a front-zip parka dress, a ruffled parka dress, a flight suit, and cargo pants – as well as fully-crystallized accessories including backpacks and men’s and women’s combat boots.

Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Swarovski Executive Board, commented: “We are delighted to celebrate our longstanding collaboration with Jeremy Scott at his milestone 20th anniversary show. Jeremy’s boundary-breaking collections over the past two decades have provided so much impact, dynamism and fun, and we look forward to another inspiring collection.”

New York, September 10, 2017 – TOME presented its Spring/Summer 2018 collection at The Kitchen this afternoon during New York Fashion Week. As part of its aim to drive positive change towards a more responsible fashion industry, Swarovski supported designers Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin to create a collection with sustainability at its heart. The duo incorporated Swarovski crystals recycled from past seasons in several looks. Lobo and Martin drew inspiration from legendary New York choreographer Pam Tanowitz, who choreographed this afternoon’s presentation. Crystals in vibrant hues were applied on cotton and silk fabrics to create a subtle shimmering effect and geometric crystal designs were strategically placed on garments to accentuate the movement of the body.

Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin commented: “For Spring 2018 we recycled designs and crystals from past seasons in an effort to sustainably use our resources. Sustainability already runs top-down in our business, and we’ll continue to innovate on different ways we can approach it. Sustainable and ethical fashion should not be considered a luxury but a given. Swarovski is the kind of forward-thinking company that we like to partner with to create meaningful change in the industry.”
