Illuminating Fashion’s Biggest Night Out
Swarovski’s 130-year heritage of artistry and savoir-faire was highlighted as the House presented at the Met Gala for the second year. Responding to the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ and dress code, ‘Tailored for You’, Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, imagined four one-of-a-kind couture looks that balance the defining characteristics of dandyism with the inherent grace of the House emblem, the Swarovski Swan. Worn by Engelbert and Friends of the House, Adut Aketch, Alex Consani, and Sora Choi, these elegant, theatrical, and fiercely individual looks reflected Swarovski’s joyful House colors and were completed by exquisitely crafted custom jewelry adding strength, structure, and shine.
Alex consani
Structured Elegance
Exuding elegance and a subtle sensuality, Alex Consani’s Swan White-inspired silhouette provided the ideal blank canvas for golden yellow crystal embroidery. The two-piece skirt and jacket set spoke to Alex’s strength and timeless sense of style, reimagining a tailored suit complete with a one-of-a-kind jewelry-revere. Seamlessly integrated into the suit, this hand-crafted piece featured 18,400 Swarovski Crystals and was created by a team of 15 artisans with expertise in traditional goldsmithing, stone setting, and tailoring techniques and required over 275 hours of craftsmanship.

Regal Opulence
Echoing the grandeur of the Swarovski Swan, Adut Akech’s hand-made ensemble paired a gilet-inspired mini dress with a dramatic floor-length tailcoat. Channeling the power of pink, the look leaned into extravagance and Adut’s youthful allure in its accessories, teaming over-ear cuffs from the to-be-released Swarovski Vienna collection with a statement collar featuring Pointiage™-encrusted feathers in a degrade pattern, crafted from 25,550 Swarovski Crystals applied by a team of four over 145 hours.
Giovanna engelbert
Modern Artistry
Conceptualizing a personal interpretation of this year’s dress code, ‘Tailored for You’, Swarovski Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, embodied the theme in a perfectly tailored, three-piece pant suit. Individual yet influenced by classic craftsmanship and the essence of dandyism, the suit included a ode to the Swarovski Swan with embroidered feathers adorning the ensemble to create a sense of motion. The finishing touch was a custom feather and bow choker featuring 1,800 Swarovski Zirconia stones which took four people over 240 hours to construct.

Graceful Contrast
Sora Choi’s dreamy all-blue outfit blended sharp tailoring with romantic flourishes. Her formal dress coat was cut to flow into a balletic, swan-like skirt, serving as a nod to Sora’s punk edge and inner strength. The headpiece and belt commanded attention, capturing the tension between soft and strong with metallic crystallized feathers intertwined with hand-crafted organza feathers. The belt featured 16,300 Swarovski Zirconia stones and took 70 hours to create, while the feather headpiece shone with 12,600 Swarovski Zirconia stones applied over 50 hours.
