Sew-on stones, pendants, beads, crystal transfers and crystal pearls appeared across his haute couture creations: 18 key looks and 25 accessories worn by models and celebrities including Joan Smalls, Dita Von Teese, Erin O’Connor, Yasmin Le Bon, Rossy de Palma, Jade Parfitt, Cristina Cordula, Amanda Lear and Iris Mittenaere.

The show also included a preview of the designer’s iconic new Autumn Winter 2020 jewelry collection, Atelier Swarovski x Jean Paul Gaultier. Inspired by a 90s street punk influences, models wore layered pieces including earrings, hoops, necklaces and rings, which featured Swarovski crystal cuts designed to emulate vintage mirrors.
