Marc Newson creates Fashion Awards trophies from Swarovski crystal
First Zaha Hadid designed a trophy for the Brit Awards; now Marc Newson has done 15 for the Fashion Awards.
The renowned industrial designer was commissioned by the British Fashion Council and Swarovski to create a trophy for each of the 15 categories at the Fashion Awards 2016.
The bespoke trophies, crafted from Swarovski crystal, are based on the forms of crystal clusters and rock structures.
Each is hexagonal shaped, with the tallest one measuring 245 millimetres in height. The awards' logo is etched onto one of the facets in a handwriting-like font.
"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," said Newson. "We could not have achieved this spectacular result with any other material."
