Crystallized is a product brand for the world’s finest loose cut crystal elements manufactured by Swarovski. Made in different colors, effects, shapes and sizes, these precious elements have been a remarkable palette of inspiration for designers alike. The Crystallized project was commissioned a year ago to 22 leading fashion designers of the fashion world. Each designer then is to design a black dress which would be auctioned off at the Phillips de Pury & Co in New York during September 2010. All proceeds from the auction and sales of the Crystallized book will go to the American Cancer Society and la Ligue nationale contre le cancer in France. You know how I love black and right now Im salivating. Each dress is simply a marvellous work of art.
These exclusive collections of one-off creations have been unveiled in Paris on the 27th Jan 2010.
