An immersive experience, a retrospective exhibition, a celebration of the future. Masters of Light - From Vienna to Milan is the first multi-faceted exploration of the rich story and innovative spirit of Swarovski, one of the world’s oldest heritage brands. Arriving in Milan, the heart of Italian fashion, the exhibition is presented across the internal salons of Palazzo Citterio, the magnificent extension of Pinacoteca di Brera - the perfect location to reveal the evolution of Swarovski’s artistry and savoir-faire.
Time Chamber
The Time Chamber reveals the metamorphosis of Swarovski’s story, the evolution of its savoir-faire, and its impact across fashion and culture, while highlighting the creative wonder and exceptional craftsmanship that defines the House. A journey across three centuries, key milestones are illuminated with outstanding examples of artistry drawn from the Swarovski Heritage Collection.
Future History Chamber
Swarovski is a key collaborator with fashion’s true greats who have changed the way the world looks, and who continue to transform and evolve our ideas of beauty, creating the history of our future. In these chambers, outstanding outfits from global talents spanning 129 years of magical creativity, are grouped into a series of 20 visual dialogues. Each is a vision of the future conversing with history united by Swarovski Crystal.
Masters of Light Chamber
Crystal both captures and transforms light, offering a scintillation and sparkle that allows each Swarovski piece to glow with its own inherent luminescence. The Masters of Light Chamber showcases exceptional examples of how this translates into fashion. A highlight is an Haute Couture gown by Gianni Versace from Fall/Winter 1995, which introduced the pure radiance of Swarovski Crystal Mesh to the universe of couture for the very first time.
Exklusive Una Angelic Milan-Kollektion
To celebrate Masters of Light - From Vienna to Milan, we have created an Una Angelic Milan capsule collection, named after the first European destination to host the exhibition. The collection is available in the exhibition’s pop-up store, inside Palazzo Citterio, and other select boutiques.
Die Mathemagische Kammer präsentiert Schmuck mit Swarovski-Kristallen in komplexen Form- und Gestaltspielen sowie außergewöhnliche Wohngegenstände und Modekomponenten. Teils Atelier, teils Labor verbindet diese Kammer die Logik der Wissenschaft mit der Magie der Schöpfung. Im Mittelpunkt des Raums stehen Schmuck-Couture-Stücke von Swarovski Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert für die Met Gala 2024, die Swarovskis überragende Handwerkskunst hervorheben.
Die Schmuckschatulle
Title:
„Ich habe diesen Raum als Ode an Swarovski Crystal kuratiert. Er würdigt Swarovskis Geschichte als Kristallhersteller – und unser modernes Erbe als Schmuckmarke seit 1977. Die Inspiration kommt von unserem Savoir-faire in der Kunstfertigkeit, der geometrischen Form jedes Schmuckstücks und dem Farbprisma, das Kristall erzeugt, wenn er vom Licht verzaubert wird. All dies hat meine Designs geprägt – Kristallschliffe inspirieren die Formen unserer modernen Ikonen: Millenia, Lucent, Harmonia, Mesmera. Alle kristallisieren unsere DNA.“ Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert.
Pop Icons Chamber
Pop Icons Chamber expose des costumes de scène et de cinéma, des articles de mode et des tenues de tapis rouge, illustrant comment les créateurs se sont toujours tournés vers Swarovski pour transporter le public et façonner des rêves. Plus que de simples célébrités, ces personnalités ont remodelé la culture contemporaine à travers le monde, leur garde-robe étant l'expression de leur liberté et de leurs valeurs. Swarovski est un élément essentiel pour communiquer leurs visions artistiques.
