Let us take you inside the Swarovski 'Masters of Light' exhibition in Shanghai, a crystal-clad showcase of Swarovski's history and heritage.

Swarovski, the name synonymous with brilliance and crystal opulence, recently opened doors to its inaugural brand exhibition, a dazzling affair christened 'Masters of Light,' at Shanghai's cutting-edge Museum of Contemporary Art
Curated by none other than renowned fashion critic, Alexander Fury, this extraordinary showcase is a shimmering testament to Swarovski's enduring impact on the world of fashion. Get ready as we bring you inside this enigmatic exhibition and prepare to be dazzled as you traverse through over 60 crystal-encrusted couture masterpieces, a treasure trove that spans generations of Swarovski's artistic legacy.

'Masters of Light' is an illustrious gathering of gemstone-studded wonders, a couture congregation featuring luminous works by iconic designers such as Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few.
 Yet, it's not just fashion; it's an immersive plunge into the world of Swarovski and its influence on pop culture, boasting a constellation of Swarovski-adorned stage costumes and red-carpet spectacles, once donned by luminaries like Harry Styles, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, and the eternal icon, Marilyn Monroe.

The exhibition unfurls in a captivating choreography of seven thematic "Chambers of Wonder." From the romanticism of 19th-century Vienna to Swarovski's modern-day crystal empire, you'll traverse the annals of time, each chamber an enchanting portal into a distinct facet of Swarovski's narrative. 
Not to be overlooked, the 'Diamonds of the Future' chamber spotlights the brand's newest fine jewellery collection, masterfully curated by creative director Giovanna Engelbert.

On the exhibition, Giovanna says, "It is very emotional for me to see all these astonishing pieces together in our first brand exhibition, which is a celebration of craftsmanship and savoir-faire in every creative discipline. From conceptualization to realization, Masters of Light has been an extraordinary endeavour, and I could not be happier that the exhibition&rsquo;s journey begins here in Shanghai, a city of culture and creativity, a hub of luxury and a global gateway.
"I am proud and humbled to be part of this incredible 128-year-old European luxury house that has the courage to continuously evolve into the future.&rdquo;

Beyond that, the exhibition's future destinations remain tantalizing secrets, promising to transport the world into the magical universe of Swarovski. Brace yourselves for an unforgettable rendezvous with the marriage of fashion, art, and crystal enchantment.

The Swarovski 'Masters of Light' exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Shanghai is open to the public from 20th September to 9th October 2023.
