Bangkok--19 Feb--Spark Communications
Swarovski and Jason Wu nurture a long-term creative collaboration which finds its third expression in a 2018 Spring/Summer collection that ranges from eye-catching to everyday designs, so any woman can find a piece to suit her style. Jason Wu commented: "Swarovski's incredible variety of beautiful crystal cuts and colors meant that I could realize my vision for a collection that embodies a refined glamour with a modern sensibility. For Spring/Summer 2018, I wanted to focus on the purity and craft behind the crystals, so I chose to use clear and champagne-colored crystals set off against shining gold for an authentic, timeless look."
For Jason Wu's third season with Atelier Swarovski, the designer has expanded his 'Mosaic' collection with a range of elegant earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings in clear and Silver Shade crystals encased in polished gold-plated settings.
'Prisma' collection
Inspired by Mosaic, Wu has also designed the 'Prisma' collection, a versatile everyday range which will be more widely available in stores. Prisma features the same neutral color palette and sleek design which let the faceted crystals take central stage, channeling contemporary femininity and understated touch of sparkle.
