SWAROVSKI TIARA 2017 DESIGNED BY KARL LAGERFELD Each year, Swarovski partners with an international designer to create the iconic tiara, which is worn by the debutantes at the Vienna Opera Ball. Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld designed this year’s tiara “Le Beau Danube Bleu” with a mix of classic and modern influences, meticulously crafted from a mix of 394 Swarovski crystals in clear and sapphire hues, and finished with five Swarovski crystal pearls. The tiara is elegant and timeless, with a distinctive essence that is uniquely Karl Lagerfeld. The design – and particularly the soft curves of the blue stones – is inspired by the famous “Blue Danube” waltz, the traditional Opera Ball opening dance which was composed by Johann Strauss son and will celebrate its 150th anniversary in February 2017.
