“I have a special kind of freedom and incredible technical possibilities with Swarovski. So this is a wonderful partnership. They are not afraid of anything and neither am I. It is a celebration of the spikes that become transparent, mirrored in different forms, pushed to the extreme of creation and taken one step further than a regular metallic stud.”— Jean Paul Gaultier
