Pieces include a “fit and flare” dress, elbow-length gloves, a crystal-covered version of the Reese short and a pavé bow collar necklace and matching cuff. Prices start at USD158 (for the t-shirts) and go up to USD3,298 (for the crystal jacket).

“2013 is the year of things we love, and since the month of November celebrates ‘all that glitters,’ Swarovski was a natural partner for us. Swarovski’s penchant for sparkle paired with our playfully chic approach to occasion dressing allowed us to create a dazzling, festive holiday collection,” said president and chief creative officer Deborah Lloyd.

The collection launched at the brand’s Madison Avenue flagship in New York and on katespade.com on November 14, 2013, with a special cityscape window display at the store highlighting pieces from the collection. – AFP RELAXNEWS
