Nkwo dress detail with Swarovski crystal

Swarovski crystals threaded together on a dress by Nkwo created for the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange supported by Swarovski.

Swarovski are committed to promoting sustainability and conscious design in their collaborations, their support of the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange project has enabled Nest, a charity that works to develop that handworker economy, to invite all the participating artisans to join the Nest Guild organization. Swarovski’s support of the project has also allowed nine designers to realise their creations with upcycled crystal from Swarovski. Swarovski is proud to support this exciting project, which uses fashion as a common language to showcase the power and potential of designers working with artisans from across the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.
