Swarovski celebrates 120 years.

Swarovski has always done its duty to make fashion nights shine. Last example to date? Last night, at the Salons France-Amériques.

To celebrate its 120th anniversary, the Tyrolean house transformed the rooms of the private mansion into a gigantic crystal gallery where archival pieces, original installations and embroidered creations, including those by Alexander McQueen, Viktor&Rolf and Hussein Chalayan, met.

An event that echoes the publication of an anniversary book published by Rizzoli,””Swarovski : Celebrating a History of Collaborations in Fashion, Jewelry, Performance, and Design””, bringing together more than a century of collaborations commented by the most knowledgeable of the above fields – Suzy Menkes, Alice Rawsthorn, Deyan Sudjic or Colin McDowell.

Like this glamorous and sparkling family empire, the party was starring Caroline Vreeland for the live and some tops for the pleasure of the eyes. Brilliant!
