WITH THE GRACE OF HEART
IN THE GRACE OF LIGHT..."
I stumbled across this project on the dazed digital website.

The whole thing is kind of a hub of creativity.
This particular project is a collaboration between Mariano Vivanco & Swarovski.
& the result is a short film that captures the image of the Tree Graces amidst a sea of tulle & crystals.
The creator had this to say...
"I started getting ideas for the film about girls swirling around in a whirlwind,” Vivanco says of the project, which was inspired by Swarovski, whose ongoing mission it is to "beautify and enrich" the world with "allegories of light and crystal" that are all about facets, depth, radiance and reflection. These invite the wearer into another world of inspiration, and one can see how The Three Graces represent the creativity reflected in the different facets of such a crystal, shedding different lights on our lives, and encouraging one to take a more poetic perspective on life.
"The Three Graces usually have long, flowing, crazy hair, but on the day, one of the models came into the studio with a really tiny bob," laughs Vivanco. "Luckily the hairdresser had some hairpieces that we managed to glue onto her head. Young designer James Millar made their dresses out of random lingerie and expensive silks, and we stuck CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements all over the girls, their nails, and the frocks. We even put them on curtains that were draped in front of the camera as we were filming. I decided to rip up the dresses during the final scene of the shoot. That was really kind of heartbreaking, but it was all in the name of art!"
Bordering on the saccrine, it is creativity at the height of opulence. Three classically beautiful models gaze from the heart of an explosion of pastel pink drapery, showers of the famous crystals glinting from every imaginable surface.
Pure eye candy...
