Swarovski on the Runway

Pushing the boundaries of creativity

Lighting Up Global Catwalks

Swarovski crystals have been integral to the international fashion industry since its inception. Stealing the spotlight at runways around the world, our mastery of light, cut, and color, as well as innovative creativity, helps to add an extra dimension to the collections of scores of emerging and established designers.

AWGE SS26

Swarovski crystal artistry was on brilliant display at AWGE's Paris Fashion Week SS26 show. Over 1,000 hand-cast, hand-cut, and hand-set crystals adorned a range of custom accessories, including belts, brooches and clips, each fusing our signature savoir-faire with AWGE's playful irreverence.

Works of Art

Each season, catwalks transform into exhibitions of artistry illuminated by crystals. An ode to creativity, couture collections exude joyful extravagance, with glimmering gowns radiating brilliance and color designed made to enchant audiences.

House signatures are intensified with the luster of precision cut stones, while high impact flatback crystals adorn show-stopping looks, whether woven into eye-catching accents or cascading from head-to-toe.

Swarovski Global Young Talent

The Swarovski Global Young Talent program has nurtured and celebrated the next generation of design talent since 1999. Continuing our close collaboration with the industry’s leading lights, and helping to shape the future of fashion, this year Swarovski has empowered another cohort of exceptional talents to set the world’s catwalks alight. From knitwear dipped in crystals, to exquisitely crafted Swarovski crystal mesh, and delicate tulle scattered with crystals to mimic the effect of falling snow, the ingenuity and creativity of the designers below is thrilling.

The Designers

Wales Bonner

The eclectic references that informed Wales Bonner’s AW23 Twilight Reverie collection combined to create something truly mesmerizing. Over 1000 crystals were featured throughout, seen on pleated men’s skirts, knitwear, accessories by milliner Stephen Jones, and a shirt inspired by the Jamaican soccer team.

Marine Serre

Fusing upcycling with street style sensibilities, Marine Serre makes her collections as sustainable as possible by reusing fabrics and materials to create unique patchwork ensembles. Her signature printed catsuits stole the spotlight on her AW23 catwalk, embellished with thousands of crystals shaped into crescent moons.

Robert Wun

Making waves with his bold, youthful aesthetic, Hong Kong-born Robert Wun made his catwalk debut on fashion’s most prestigious stage: Paris Couture Week. His SS23 Fear collection tackled any nerves head on, harnessing the power of over 6,000 Swarovski crystals in five looks that took over 300 hours of work to create.

Palomo Spain

One to watch, Palomo Spain played with gender fluidity throughout his enchanting AW23 Closet collection. Styling every look with vibrant colored Swarovski jewelry, he also experimented with new embroidery techniques, using more than 4,000 stones to create stunning crystallized floral accents.

Nensi Dojaka

Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka blurs the lines between lingerie and eveningwear, using crystals to showcase feminine silhouettes and contour curves. Her AW23 collection highlights included a crystallized snowdrop dress, a galactic faux fur coat, and a dazzling nude illusion gown.

Marco Rambaldi

Taking inspiration from early ‘00s style, Marco Rambaldi’s rebellious AW23 Supernova collection celebrates self-expression. Presenting myriad crystallized looks, his diverse pieces were united by shimmer, with crystals featuring in everything from beading details to cosmic motifs.

Robert Wun x KUN

Robert Wun crafted a majestic ensemble for Chinese singer KUN’s world tour. Inspired by his crystallized Wun’s Raincoat, he tailored stage outfits from midnight technical wool and adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals. The custom embroidered suit and hat are made light up international stages. Each masterfully cut stone falls on the suit like a droplet of rain, frozen in place to form a dazzling look that seamlessly fuses the worlds of fashion and performance.

Ludovic de Saint Sernin

At Paris Menswear Week, Ludovic de Saint Sernin harnessed the power of crystals to create a vision of sensual elegance. Dedicated to desire, joy, and strength, his SS24 collection offered a nuanced and celebratory take on queer identity.

Crystals illuminated front-slashed, net-hemmed gowns and halter neck sash tops, while monogrammed totes were crafted from exquisite Swarovski Crystal Mesh. An irresistible interpretation of our signature savoir-faire.
