SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS’ mega trend for Spring/Summer 2014 has been identified as ‘The Female Shift’. Today’s woman defies labels and definitions. She is multifaceted, assuming many roles across science and literature, politics and economics. For this reason, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS’ inspirations and innovations for Spring/Summer 2014 are a tribute to the many facets of modern woman, celebrating her in all her guises.


Looking ahead to Spring/Summer 2014, four themes emerge:

MINIMALIST REFINEMENT (Classic) is defined by sculptural silhouettes trimmed with crystal in monochrome shades, including the new Light Silk.

The earthiness of FORCE OF NATURE (Romantic) is captured in vibrant, organic fabrics, using colors such as new Crystal Rose Gold.

POETIC RADIANCE (Progressive) radiates adventure, technology, and poetry in high-tech metallic and pearly synthetics.

MYTHICAL ALLURE (Glamour) exudes ethereal beauty in sensual, opulent materials.

All the new flags are up in John Bead’s Swarovski Cafe.  Let’s take a closer look at my favorite colour trend; Force of Nature.
