Swarovski 2012 Spring/Summer Runway Show


Jasmine and Keely were invited to Swarovski’s 2012 S/S runway show on 8 February 2012 at the French Window. The collection, named Sweet Sixties, is filled with jewelry and accessories that swings and shines literally.  Swarovski’s creative director Nathalie Colin uses the spring/summer 2012 jewelry and accessory collection to tell us “the story of a multifaceted young woman as she evolves from a student to that of a starlet becoming accustomed to fame and the limelight.”

After catching up with Jessica, their lovely PR, we made our way through the long, dark, and mysterious corridor, only to be greeted by a huge blast of pink all over the set. We were swiftly ushered towards the booths for a session of cupcake decorating. It was rather easy and definitely loads of fun, so the three of us had an awesome time whipping up some artistic masterpieces while waiting for the show to begin.
The French window was scattered with items from Swarovski’s 2012 S/S collection, all inspired by the sixties and featuring soft pastel shades, bright balloons, as well as floral and circle prints. Everyone in the house was busy jotting down the gems they fancy!

Their chunky bangles and necklaces are subtle blends of modern and vintage tones, which I must say would make a great match with a sleeveless floral spring cocktail dress and some cute sandals. This season’s collection had some shades as well, which is great for Hong Kong’s glaring summer. Keely was with me last time at Swarovski’s Hello Kitty collection runway show, and she pointed out that Jacqueline Chong was invited again to sport the dazzling pieces. I can see why though, since the accessories do suit her sweet smile rather well!
