November 3, 2016 By publisher

Industrial designer Marc Newson has teamed up with The British Fashion Council and Swarovski to create the trophies for the upcoming Fashion Awards 2016. Fabricated from Swarovski Crystal, the hexagonal trophy was inspired by the idea of “crystal clusters and rock structures.” Each piece measures 245mm by 67mm and will be handcrafted at Swarovski's headquarters in Wattens, Austria, before being delivered to London ahead of the awards ceremony on December 5. “Swarovski crystal is a fantastic material to work with, and I am happy with the striking visual effect that has been created from the reflections of each individual trophy when set together,” says Newson.
