As we’ve seen, visvim participated in Swarovski’s “CRYSTALLIZED Meets 12 Tokyo Brands” exhibition. So far, we’ve had peeks at the Maliseet Elk-Folk and some apparel and accessories, and now we have a look at the CRYSTALLIZED Skagway. The sneaker was customized with two-tone Swarovski crystal stripes across the tongue, in three different color ups. Still no word on whether or not these will see a retail release.

Hit the jump for a closer look at the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED™ x visvim Skagway.

Today we give you a detailed look at our favorite items from the new Swarovski x colette capsule collection. The Parisian store once again did an excellent job curating a great line-up of product for the pop-up store. Included in the line-up are adidas J Wings Sneakers by Jeremy Scott, a 400% Bearbrick by Medicom and a skull sculpture by Fabien Baron. Unfortunately these pieces do not come cheap – the sneaker goes for 2′500 Euros, the skull for 1′000 Euros and the Bearbrick for 15′000 Euros.

More images of all three products follow after the jump.

Swarovski has been working with lots of fashion brands over the years, but obviously most of the time womens collections made use of the stones from the brand. That seems to be changing now.

“The Austrian company’s components brand Crystallized-Swarovski Elements has linked up with a group of Japanese and international designers to put together a collection of men’s apparel incorporating Swarovski crystal and synthetic gemstones. Items include a leather jacket, a denim shirt, moccasin-style shoes and a slew of dazzling shirts and jackets for evening.

Swarovski linked up with influential fashion editor and stylist Tomoki Sukezane to stage the exhibition. Under his guidance, each designer or brand came up with its own take on the dinner jacket and dress shirt plus a few more pieces of their choosing. The participating designers include Masaya Kuroki and Gildas Loaec of Kitsune; Arashi Yanagawa of John Lawrence Sullivan; Hiroki Nakamura of Visvim; Joe-Casely Hayford, and Phillip Lim.”

The Lanvin high top sneakers and visvim pieces of the collection are very interesting and especially visvim is somewhat unexpected to be working as part of the project, at least in our mind.

Take a closer look at some items from the Swarovski Mens Collection after the jump.

We came across another little preview of the new Uniform Experiment collection, a more sophisticated Sophnet line that will be dropping very soon. Here you see Swarovski encrusted karabiner. It will be interesting to see how far they go with this line, because in general we cannot say we are too much into the whole Swarovski thing, even though the contrast of something practical and rural with something like a useless Swarovski stone is interesting.

After the jump another look at the piece.
