Fashion Trends and Color Inspirations for the New SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Fall and Winter 2014/15 Innovations! Featuring EXTRAVAGANT SIMPLICITY

Classic Extravagant Simplicity Swarovski Fashion and Color TrendsThe extravagant simplicity style focuses on a pared-back feel is prevalent as the design world becomes focused on what is being termed “Boredom Beauty.” This new design ethic sees basics reinvented with hidden detailing and purpose. Wardrobes concentrate on the achievable and wearable. Alongside this, a new male/female hybrid is introduced. Indeed, there is a strong, ongoing focus on the classic shapes of the past with a modern interpretation. Form follows function as in Bauhaus doctrine, and in this theme, cut and finishing touches are key: details are refined and elegant.

The Mood

Classic The Mood Swarovski Fashion and Color Trends

A firm focus on keeping it straightforward and simple coins the new design ethic of “no-fuss” fashion.

Crystal emerges in clean, geometric structures or as finishing touches to simplified designs.

Minimalistic jewelry styles – clean-cut stones and alternative materials – become the new expression of luxury.

Feminine lines meet masculine style in the new androgyny, where men wear typically “female” colors such as beige, pink, cream, and champagne.

Basics are reinvented to lay the foundation for a wardrobe that will bridge both fashion and time.

Reduced, well-chosen, and functional designs in New Segments take center stage.

PRODUCT INSPIRATION

New SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Fall/Winter 2014-2015 Innovations!

Swarovski Elements New Fall Winter 2014-2015 InnovationsIntroducing the New SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Fall/Winter 2014-2015 Innovations!

It’s a very exciting time in the Swarovski world! The new Fall/Winter colors, styles and effects are absolutely stunning!

Swarovski Opposits Attract New Fall Winter Innovations

The mega trend this season focuses on individualism and its polar opposite – collectivity: both trends that are redefining our design ethic. Each theme this season reflects a seemingly impossible combination of polar opposites that complement each other, as if they have always belonged together, to show true individual style.

(All of the products will be listed on our website later today!)

New Swarovski Color Dark Moss Green

Swarovski Elements Dark Moss Green

Introducing the natural into the urban, this rich, tourmaline tone has been inspired by genuine gemstones. Its jewel-like character is the perfect statement for all seasons and closes another gap in the color assortment. With Dark Moss Green it’s all about “back to nature.” The opulent dark green reflects both bold traditional looks and futuristic designs following the neo-ecological trend. By mimicking the most precious material nature offers – genuine gemstones – Dark Moss Green is a must for the current ecology-aware trends that seek a touch of luxury.

New Swarovski Effect Crystal Lilac Shadow

Swarovski Elements Crystal Lilac Shadow

Violets stand for romance, gold for splendor. Crystal Lilac Shadow is both. With its rich coloring and subtle golden coating that contains real gold, Crystal Lilac Shadow brings to mind imperial purple. An indisputably modern interpretation, it appears romantic and precious, almost royally opulent. A luxurious, deep tone of purple with an exciting hint of gold that both enriches and evokes mystery in designs – a standout shade that is unique to Swarovski.

New Swarovski Effect Crystal Blackberry Pearl

Swarovski Elements Crystal Blackberry Pearl

Crystal Blackberry Pearl recalls the ripeness of late summer berries and represents the very blood running through this fall’s fashion veins. Combine Crystal Blackberry Pearl with sparkling elements in Dark Moss Green or Crystal Lilac Shadow to give them a powerfully dark frame. Berry has been identified as the leading trend color this fall. Crystal Blackberry Pearl is therefore the epitome of fashion, bringing a subtle, hypnotizing mysterious quality to the scene.

New Swarovski Technology Full Coating

Swarovski Full Coating New Technology

The FULL COATING (FC) effect represents an eye-catching metallic look in the Beads assortment. This color range offers unlimited combination possibilities within the existing range of crystal elements product assortment. Coming in bright metallic styles, the new FULL COATING will ensure any jewelry piece makes an electrifying statement in both cool and classic ways. Improved technology creates perfectly homogeneous, all-round application of high-intensity metallic effects.

New Swarovski Style 5541 Dome Bead Large

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS 5541 DOME BEAD LARGE NEW ARTICLE

Romantic meets rock meets VIP. The spiky character of the Dome Bead large means that it is predestined for glamorously feminine looks that are quite literally “edgy.” It symbolizes cool romanticism, elegant rockabilly, or self-confident classicism. Use the Dome Bead Large to construct on-trend spikes and play with strong contrasts, particularly by combining it with round elements such as the Crystal Globe Bead, the art. 5000 Bead, or any version of Crystal Pearls.

New  Swarovski Style 5542 Dome Bead Small

New Swarovski Style 5860 Crystal Coin Pearl

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS 5860 CRYSTAL COIN PEARL NEW ARTICLE

Smooth, lustrous and flawless like a classic pearl, the Crystal Coin Pearl has a flattened shape and is a stunning new addition to the pearl assortment. The Crystal Coin Pearl fits into countless designs, especially earrings and necklaces, and feels comfortably soft when worn directly on the skin. Because of their flat shape, they are lighter compared with the regular Crystal Pearls, so you can even use larger sizes without making your designs too heavy. The flat shape allows for easy application and creates a magnificently elegant appeal.

New Swarovski Style 6764 Clover Pendant

SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS 6764 CLOVER PENDANT NEW ARTICLE
