elle-02-prabal3-lgnThe Swarovski Design Collective is a program that sponsors young designers every year. The program gives the chosen designers the opportunity to show their collections at New York Fashion week. The designers are selected for their thoughtful use of the signature Swarovski crystals, creating beautiful collections with the gems. They receive financial backing for their collection, and they have the opportunity to take advantage of Swarovski’s vast crystal options. The designers selected for this season are Rodarte, Prabal Gurung,SUNO, Wes Gordon and first timer Brandon Sun.

“Putting our crystals into the hands of creative talents always seems to inspire and results in the most extraordinary experimentation. Members of the Swarovski Collective continue to amaze us with their ability to fuse crystal so imaginatively into their collections. This season is no exception and we are thrilled to welcome some exciting new talents into the program for Autumn/Winter 2014,” says Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Swarovski Executive Board.”Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Swarovski Executive Board
