Shenkar and Swarovski

August 26, 2008 - 9:48 AM by

For anyone heading toward London or Wattens, Austria, take the opportunity to check out some little black dresses set with Swarovski crystals and designed by Israel’s Shenkar College of Engineering and Design fourth-year students. They’re currently on display at the Swarovski flagship store in London, as well as the company museum in Wattens.

First shown in “The Little Black Dress” fashion show at the school’s end-of-year gala event in May, which this year honored Nadja Swarovski of the famed crystal family, the show was the final event of a student project. The idea was to examined the myth of the little black dress, as expressed by Coco Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld, expressing clean lines and modern times, as well as the connection between the world of haute couture and street fashion. Swarovski was so impressed that she decided to show them on the company’s turf.

The flagship exhibit is on display until September 11, and then will be sent to the U.S. for a show on September 18 at the Israeli Consulate in Boston.
