«Alexander McQueen revealed the magic that comes from putting our crystal into the hands of cutting-edge talent,» said Nadja Swarovski, who credits the late designer for putting her great-great-grandfather’s company back on the fashion map. «As soon as McQueen used [our crystals] we were inundated with requests.

The rest is history…»Swarovski says the most important thing McQueen did was to help the company (which launched in 1895 in Austria) reconnect with its heritage in haute couture, which began when founder Daniel Swarovski began traveling to Paris every season to meet with early couturiers Charles Frederick Worth and Jeanne Lanvin. «McQueen helped us think about how to do that in the modern world,» Swarovski admitted.Courtesy of Swarovski»Savage Beauty,» which spans McQueen’s career from his 1992 MA graduate collection to his posthumous autumn/winter 2010 collection, premiered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2011, where it was one of the museum’s most visited shows. London’s exhibition, which runs from 14 March to 2 August 2015, has been edited and expanded for the V&A’s large galleries, and will feature 30 additional garments, including some rare early pieces lent by private individuals and collectors such as Katy England and Annabelle Neilson, as well as pieces from the Isabella Blow Collection and the House of Givenchy. Bringing the drama and spectacle that characterized McQueen’s runway shows back to London, the town where he grew up, studied, and established his global fashion brand, «Savage Beauty» aims to highlight McQueen’s ability to push the limits of craftsmanship and boundaries of creativity.»He developed innovative, new applications for our products, and put them back on the map for other designers, like Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, who now continue to push fashion forward,» said Swarovski.
