The Swarovksi Collective has long been a supporter of designers around the globe helping provide financing for their collections as well as access to their vast crystal archive since the first collaboration with Alexander McQueen in 1999. Since then over 140 designers have been a part of the Swarovski Collective and this season was full of stellar crystalized collections. At NYFW, Brandon Sun, SUNO, Prabal Gurung, Rodarte, and Wes Gordon all incorporated crystals into their collections. At LFW it was Michael van der Ham, Mary Katrantzou, Emilia Wickstead, Fyodor Golan, and Huishan Zhang who sparkled up their runways. So just how many crystals lit up the runway?
