Jesień/Zima 2016/17
When Jean Paul Gaultier, haute couture rebel and modern design legend, visited Swarovski headquarters in 2013, he was struck by the perfection of Swarovski crystal. Inspired to create a crystal design of his own, he felt that there was no way to make something perfect more perfect. There was only a way to make it new. And that was adding a touch of imperfection…Once the idea was out there, the creative power of Jean Paul Gaultier and technical expertise of Swarovski joined forces to give birth to something new. It took them over a year of development and experimentation, but in the end the result was perfect. Or perfectly imperfect. Aptly named “Kaputt” (the German word for “broken”) this exciting new collection consists of two Pendants and three Fancy Stones in rich, shimmering metallic colors that riff on irregular forms, break with conventions and celebrate the appeal of being different and unpredictable.
Crystal Scarabaeus Green. Scintillating somewhere between the hypnotic, otherworldly shimmer of the scarab and the bright green of tarnished copper, Crystal Scarabaeus Green was developed asa perfect match for the Kaputt Collection. It, too, was a flash of inspiration from Jean Paul Gaultier, who closely followed the development of this stunning new effect with its green, blue and purple metallic luster.
