Smashing through the crystal ceiling with Swarovski
Swarovski’s elevated rebrand ‘Wonderlab’ reimagines the brand’s signature crystals with a dystopian world of candy coloured crystals and packaging alike, with a new logo fronting the rebrand or rebirth of the world’s largest crystal manufacturer. Following the success of Collection I released in February earlier this year, Swarokvsi’s second instalment of Wonderlab, Collection II, portrays the amalgamation of fun, street and glamour with more hyper-colours and silhouettes to indulge in.
With the ability to stack, connect and create with the pieces, Collection I and II are perfect for expressing one's individuality and emulating their mood. The collections serve as a range of attainable luxury pieces that can bring any outfit to life.
Designed as a genderless collection with those in mind who are expressive, liberal and passionate, Remix sat down with some of New Zealand’s biggest ceiling smashers to canvas what makes them unique, their passions and their past. Adorned with jewels, Laura Hadlow, Sisi Duncan, Jess Clarke, Rob Tennent and Jess Molina discuss how the Swarovski Wonderlab collections enable them to express their style.
