Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Celebrating the extraordinary creative talent of one of the most innovative designers of recent times, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty will be the first and largest retrospective of McQueen's work to be presented in Europe. Swarovski is delighted to partner the V&A in bringing Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty to London. The crystal house and Alexander McQueen share a rich history, beginning in the 1990s when Isabella Blow introduced the young maverick designer to Nadja Swarovski. Swarovski went on to support McQueens Spring/Summer 1999 collection, the first of numerous collaborations including the creation, alongside Tord Boontje, of the V&As Grand Entrance crystal Christmas tree in 2003; and the dramatic Swarovski Gemstone-encrusted Birds Nest Headdress for his Autumn/Winter 2006 collection. Swarovski has worked with designers since Daniel Swarovskis precision-cut stones became prized ingredients in the dressmaking ateliers of Paris, beginning the tradition of close collaboration between Swarovski and haute couture that remains to this day.
