Congratulations are in order! Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos have been announced as the recipients of the first Swarovski Collective Award! The pair are going from strength to strength. This year they’ve already won the 2014 Vogue Fashion Fund and raised investment from MH Luxe and Meghal Mittal (click here to read more). Impressive, no? And now they have another award to their names. “It is a tremendous honour to be the recipient of their first award – they are such an iconic partner with such an impressive archive and they are constantly innovative in every way.” But what does the award actually entail? Well, €25,000 and year-long access to Swarovski’s crystal product. Given that access ourselves, we would be tempted to indulge in a full-body vajazzle. Obviously Pilotto and de Vos will put it to better use. Congratulations, both!
