Animal Instincts Inspire Autumn/Winter 2011/2012 Trends


Harmony - Winter Landscape/Snow Rabbit Trend	Classic - Forest/Brown Bear Trend

Trends By SWAROVSKI

Taking inspiration from the animal kingdom, key trends for Autumn/Winter 2011/2012 divide into different schools of thought.

This season, we look forward to an intriguing paradox of moods inspired by the natural environment.

Organic, earthy simplicity reflects our desire for cocooning, sustainability and our instinct for survival, while soaring flashes of colorful brilliance and sleek, sexy glamour tap into a nascent spirit of bouyant optimism.

This dichotomy finds design expression in fake furs, leathers and hides embellished with scatterings of sparkling crystal, jostling side by side with frivolous, glittering explosions of coloured crystal and authoritative tone-on-tone 3D applications.

Mirroring the urge to reconnect with the power, grace and survival instincts of nature and its wild inhabitants, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS has conjured up five new trend themes that reflect these contrasting outlooks:

- Harmony: Winter Landscape/Snow Rabbit
- Classic: Trend, Forest/Brown Bear
- Progressive: Farmland/Fox
- Romantic: Countryside/Kingfisher
- Glamour: City/Horse

Even diverse and contrasting design influences such as those inspired by nature can be perfectly expressed through the brilliant versatility of crystal.
