Swarovski

Brilliant Inspiration

Behind the dazzling crystal-embellished creations of the design, art, and fashion worlds, stands Swarovski. The gem house has been the world’s premier supplier for fine crystals since 1895 and has inspired some of the most innovative crystal creations. L+P was tasked to tell this story with a cast of contemporary luminaries in the artistic fields.

A Canadian artist and fashion designer Jason Wu is famous for his refined, modern take on old-world feminine glamour that he successfully incorporated while designing the dresses of Michelle Obama on several occasions, including during the first and second inauguration of American President Barack Obama. For the Swarovski campaign, he draped himself in intricately embellished embroideries.

Makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench, who has elevated her unconventional craft to an art form, stares defiantly at the camera, paintbrush in hand and a palette of scarlet crystals, next to a disembodied model’s head.
