The installations titled 'Biomorphism' were created for the five art stages at Swarovski Kristallwelten Store Wien in 2019.
Iris van Herpen's creations are unmistakable on international red carpets. The couturier is considered one of the most innovative and forward-looking designers in the world.
Iris van Herpen’s installation for Swarovski Crystal Worlds is titled 'Biomorphism', for which she has taken inspiration from living organisms and organic patterns, shaping them into hypnotic installations that show the performance of femininity.
The installations titled 'Life is Beautiful' were created exclusively for the art stages, shop windows, and display cases of Swarovski Kristallwelten Stores Wattens, Innsbruck, and Wien in 2017.
The Indian fashion designer Manish Arora has left his mark on the international catwalks like no other with the vibrant colors of his intricate clothes. His fans include stars such as Katy Perry, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
His motto 'Life is Beautiful' is tangible in the expressive, colorful productions for Swarovski Crystal Worlds: opulent dresses in the midst of intense, cheerful colors and playful scenery awaken the viewer's joy of life, invite you to linger with countless details and show what makes life beautiful against imaginative backdrops.
Another highlight by Manish Arora is the Chamber of Wonder 'Ready to Love' which is on display at Swarovski Crystal Worlds since 2018.
The installation 'Ordinary Life', created by the French designer, was featured on the prominent art stage of Swarovski Kristallwelten Store Wien in February 2018.
After working for renowned designers such as John Galliano, Chloé, and Roberto Cavalli, Shourouk Rhaiem launched her own label in 2008, specializing in jewelry design.
In her installation 'Ordinary Life', the French designer brings joyful extravagance to a banal supermarket shelf. In keeping with the aesthetics of pop art, she skillfully decorates everyday objects with Swarovski crystals, stylizing them into sparkling icons.
The installation 'Golden Spring' was first exhibited at Swarovski Kristallwelten Store Wien in February 2023 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Belvedere Museum.
Studio Mary Lennox is a Berlin based creative studio, specializing in botanical and floral installations. It was named after the protagonist of the novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
The installation 'Golden Spring' by Studio Mary Lennox is a living garden that appears almost like a floating island in space. A crystalline model of the Upper Belvedere sits enthroned on lush moss. Crystal flowers from the Swarovski Garden Tales collection sprout in the garden, and the roots, the symbol of origin and growth, are made of hand-crafted Swarovski Crystal Strands.
