130 Jahre voller Freude
Österreich, seit 1895
Title:Die Geschichte von Swarovski
Subtitle:Sobald Swarovski Kristalle der Welt vorgestellt wurden, übten sie eine geheimnisvolle Faszination aus, da sie präzisen Schliff mit der natürlichen Schönheit des Sonnenlichts und des Nachthimmels verbanden. Daniel und seine Söhne arbeiteten instinktiv mit Couturiers zusammen, die ihrerseits von den kreativen Möglichkeiten der sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Materialien von Swarovski inspiriert wurden. Am markantesten waren die irisierenden Aurora-Borealis-Kristalle, die in den 1950er-Jahren zur charakteristischen Verzierung von Christian Dior wurden.

Crystal Expertise
Title:Swarovski Savoir-Faire
Subtitle:Each design, every collection, pays tribute to founder Daniel Swarovski’s dedication to creative excellence and is radiant with our magical savoir-faire.
Swarovski’s unmistakable savoir-faire – paired with the relentless pursuit of innovation – has inspired collaborations with the greatest names in fashion, cinema, and music for almost 130 years, making the company a leading and enduring influence on pop culture.
Bold Designs
Giovanna’s approach to creating with crystals is, in a word, bold, letting the stones speak for themselves and styling them to harness their natural inner light. And to play with color. ‘For me, color is very important for the collection and something that I personally love,’ explains Giovanna. ‘The beauty is that it’s already embedded into the crystal itself.’
Dirección creativa
En 2020, Swarovski contrató a una directora creativa para toda la empresa por primera vez en su historia. La colección inaugural de Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert, Collection I, incluía collares, pendientes, anillos y cadenas corporales, y ponía de relieve el color y la geometría. Su nombre se debe al artículo n.º 1, el primer cristal que Daniel Swarovski esbozó, y se inspiró en sus dibujos manuales de cristales.
Una era dorada de luz y color
A lo largo de las décadas, el incomparable savoir-faire de Swarovski dio lugar a tendencias y colaboraciones con docenas de casas de moda y diseñadores, como Christian Dior y Elsa Schiaparelli. A medida que nuestra marca y reputación crecían, también lo hacían nuestra oferta y creatividad mientras dominábamos nuevas tallas atrevidas, como la navette ovalada y los elegantes cristales de talla baguette. Adoptamos el espíritu los tiempos y creamos piezas de joyería opulentas y glamurosas que lucían celebridades, socialités y los amantes del lujo más exigentes.
Extravagancia para todos
Cuando Daniel Swarovski produjo por primera vez sus brillantes cristales, cambió la forma en que el mundo percibía los diamantes y las joyas. En un momento en el que la joyería solo la llevaba la elite adinerada, Daniel reconoció el potencial del cristal para infundir lujo y glamour en las joyas y la moda de diario, y tener un efecto empoderador en mujeres de toda clase social. Su visión remodeló el panorama de la moda y puso la opulencia al alcance de las masas.
Mesmerizing Collaborations
For almost 130 years, Swarovski has turned heads on the red carpet and runways. From Oliver Rousteing’s first haute couture collection for Balmain to McQueen’s Swarovski Crystal Catsuit for the Deliverance show, technical innovation and savoir-faire keeps Swarovski at the forefront of fashion. When Donatella Versace was asked what Swarovski Crystals added to her unmistakable designs, she replied: ‘They add magic to every fabric.’
Swarovski & Dior: Partners in Style
The enduring partnership between Swarovski and Dior has produced some of the most captivating pieces in fashion history. Throughout the 1950s, crystals embellished many of Christian Dior’s most iconic designs, but in 1956, the partnership reached new heights with the creation of the Aurora Borealis effect. Named after the Northern Lights that deeply inspired Daniel, its unique reflective properties brought unprecedented movement and color to Dior’s couture creations. From Yves Saint Laurent to John Galliano, the Aurora Borealis crystal effect continues to delight fashion’s most brilliant minds with its creative possibilities.
Swarovski in Fashion
The birth of Swarovski in 1895 coincided with the dawn of haute couture, so Daniel would travel to Paris’s first fashion houses, collaborating with everyone from Jean Patou to Pierre Cardin on new cuts and colors of crystals. His creations were a huge hit, and since then designers have relied on Swarovski Crystals to embellish their most dazzling looks for collections in New York, London, Paris, and Milan.
Swarovski on Stage & Screen
The story of Swarovski in entertainment goes back almost one hundred years to the early days of Hollywood, when its crystals made their debut in the Marlene Dietrich film Blonde Venus (1932). Fast forward to 2023 and Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour when the iconic singer opened her performance in Amsterdam in a breathtaking Iris van Herpen custom look embellished with thousands of Swarovski Crystals.
Swarovski Rocks
Through the ages of rock and roll, Swarovski has proudly shared the stage with many legendary showmen, creating decadent, fabulous costumes for Elvis, Elton John, and Queen. In 1972, Elvis Presley’s costume designer chose Swarovski Crystals to catch the light, creating the most famous glittering white jumpsuit in musical history. Elton, a devotee of sequins, feathers, and crystal-enrobed outfits, regularly collaborated with fashion designer Bob Mackie, and together the pair created dozens of spectacular costumes that would come to define Elton’s visual identity right up until his final tour.
