"Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there's shadow - no, not just shadow, but fullness. You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that's real." -Amy Grant
CRYSTALLIZED™ - Swarovski Elements commissioned 22 designers about a year ago and asked them to design a black dress. Create a black dress is probably more accurate, as these dresses are pieces of art in my opinion. The occasion? An auction to benefit the American Cancer Society and La ligue nationale contre le cancer in France this coming fall. The dresses were unveiled in France on the 27th of January and were on display on the 28th at the Palazzo Pozzo di Borgo...and they are beautiful. The September 2010 auction will held at Phillips de Pury & Co., in New York. ALL proceeds will go to American Cancer Society and La ligue nationale contre le cancer as well as the proceeds from the book "CRYSTALLIZED™ Ways To Say Black"
The designers really outdid themselves...
