This attitude inspired a portrait series that focuses on a new generation’s casual and easy relationship with bold crystal jewelry, and its long-standing connotations of glamour.

“Bella Hadid is a symbol of the individualistic, transformative spirit of a new generation. She is multifaceted and defies conformity. She can be sporty or glamorous, but she is still the same Bella, the same Bella. This girl exudes confidence and authority. She perfectly embodies Swarovski’s values. Crystals have become a vital part of our daily wardrobe. They can accentuate your individual style and can be worn casually or elaborately. This state of mind is best illustrated by Bella. -Giovanna Engbert, Creative Director at Swarovski
Swarovski was a brand I was familiar with. It is a timeless brand that has remained recognizable for so many years. I love the brand’s new collections and the work they have done, especially in the past two years under Giovanna’s creative vision. I see Swarovski as the modern jewelry brand of tomorrow. Jewelry is about expression and celebrating individuality. Swarovski celebrates everyone and the idea of modern glamour. I love that.” – Bella Hadid.

Crystals can be transformative because of their many faces and facets. A clear crystal is like an optical prism. It contains within its core a full spectrum of colors activated by light refraction. This reaction is a reflection of the dynamic and changing qualities of crystals. Each of the color themes used in the campaign portraits of Bella Hadid is taken from the inner hues and used to reflect a different aspect and look of the model. The images also celebrate Swarovski Crystal’s color codes and collections.

The Cool Bella embodies casual, easy-to-wear crystal jewelry with a styling style that is inspired by the natural and untiring qualities of the color Green. Green is symbolic of growth and progress and embodies new values. Millenia green bracelets and necklaces can be worn with a cropped jacket or hoodie to evoke the effect of layered chains. Two Millenia necklaces are joined together to make a longer drop-chain effect. This illustrates the versatility of the design. These earrings are complemented with Gema earrings, a Lucent bracelet and Millenia clip earrings.

This mood captures the alluring and dazzling mood of the holiday, bathed in a shimmering sun with the Dextera Family’s geometric fusion between masculine metals and precision-cut paving as its central point. Bella Hadid also wears light summer layers made of Millenia, including a necklace and bracelet, Dextera bracelet and Numina rings.
Clear white: Glam Bella represents the ballroom beauty in a brave new age where glamour is a joyous state of mind. Bella Hadid is an evolution of the clear crystal jewelry language, which was so closely associated with the idea of old-world glamour.
