Swarovski has newly launched Fall/Winter 2015/16 “Winter Gardens” collection takes inspiration from nature and more precisely, from gardens.
“Nature is an endless source of inspiration, and after celebrating flowers in our latest Spring Summer collection, we now take flora and fauna to an autumnal interpretation. I was inspired by textiles portraying an idealized nature such as the vintage tapestry of English manors, the dévoré velvets, as well as the ornamental lace which presents feminine, romantic accents. Through the design process, we turned them into modern jewels with historic hints”
– Says Creative Director Nathalie Colin.
Foliage morphs into lace-like filigrees, insects and night butterflies transform into stylized pendants, in a palette of autumnal flowers and berry tones. The collection features a generous offering of easy to wear designs ranging from the timeless to the fashionable and from the subtle to the bold, which ensures a piece to suit any occasion.
Zen style garden is a major influence which infuses an organic, minimal yet sensual touch to the collection. A pure and simplified design aesthetic is combined with curved metal to create an easy chic silhouette, both sleek and feminine.
The other main inspiration focuses on the autumnal beauty of an English manor house garden. Design here favors a richer and more sophisticated approach, evoking vintage jewelry, antique tapestry and lace- like filigree, in a palette of elegant dahlia and berry colors.
