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.
Diamonds of the Future Chamber
Title:
Exploring new frontiers in man-made materials, Swarovski Created Diamonds are the next step in Swarovski’s mastery of light. Refined in a sophisticated laboratory setting that compresses millions of years into weeks, a tiny carbon ‘seed’ develops, layer by layer, into a laboratory grown diamond, which is precision-cut and polished with Swarovski’s century-old jewelry expertise.
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.
The Mathemagical Chamber showcases jewelry featuring Swarovski Crystals in complex plays of shape and form, alongside exceptional home objects and components for fashion. Part atelier, part laboratory, this chamber fuses the logic of science with the magic of creation. Central to the space are jewelry-couture pieces by Swarovski Global Creative Director Giovanna Engelbert for the 2024 Met Gala, which highlight Swarovski’s superlative artisanship.
The Jewelry Box
Title:
‘I curated this chamber as an ode to Swarovski Crystal. It celebrates Swarovski’s history as creators of crystal - and our modern heritage as a jewelry brand since 1977. Inspiration comes from the savoir-faire of our artistry, the geometric form of each jewel, and the prism of color that crystal creates when charmed by light. These have each shaped my designs - crystal cuts inspire the forms of our modern icons: the Millenia, the Lucent, the Harmonia, the Mesmera. All crystallize our 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.
