LONDON – JUNE 11: A model walks down the runway at the Swarovski Runway Rocks fashion show during London Jewellery Week, at the Phillips De Pury Gallery June 11, 2008 in London, England.

Celebrities and the fashion glitterati turned out in force 11 July 2008 night for the fifth annual Swarovski Runway Rocks event. Held as part of the Coutts London Jewellery Week, the party showcased Swarovski’s latest collection of show-stopping couture jewellery.

Held at the Phillips de Pury Gallery in Victoria, guests including Jaime Winstone, Rosamund Pike and Lulu Guinness walked a crystal-strewn carpet to watch the show. Collaborations with everyone from fashion designers Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab and Julien Macdonald to architect Zaha Hadid made their way down the catwalk, and the creators had clearly let their imaginations run wild. An enormous Indian headdress, crystal antlers complete with small birds and a technicolour Robo-Cop-meets-skeleton suit all made an appearance.

Moltedo’s ensemble was inspired by ancient Japanese Samurai warriors. The layers of armor are created by Swarovski Elements chandelier pieces.

Marios Schwab’s piece was inspired by “the topography of the internal body.”

Collado Garcia whipped this ensemble up with a dash of reptile and a pinch of cyborg, saying:

This is the look of an intergalactic creature who found her way into a dragon’s lair, fell asleep on a nest made of precious stones and woke up with the gems fused onto her skin.

July 1, 2008 at 8:03 am (Fashion) (, )

Presenting the spring/summer 2009 collection under the theme of recycling, Rio Fashion Week offers a fresh new outlook to fashion in bringing the viewers into an environmentally friendly catwalk. Based on the catch phrase“Rethink, Recycle, Renew”, the 13th edition of Rio fashion week launched on June 6, welcomes new designers into a catwalk decorated by plastic artists such as Andre Andrade using unusual materials in order to open the debate on fashion and environmental responsibility. The aim is to show a fashion industry aware of the recycling issue. The event will end June 13th.

So I offer you to see some swimsuits for summer time.
