Swarovski's Autumn/Winter 2008-09 "Trends" suggests you let intuition, not convention, guide your designs. Allow for a "cocktail" of textures, and enjoy incorporating used and/or vintage parts in new ways. Customize and diversify!

To help us tap into the mood, Swarovski offers words from haute couture guru Coco Chanel: "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live and what is happening."
