Negro, noir, annerire. No matter how you say it, black is synonymous with sophistication, elegance and all things fashionable. Which is the reason why we're mildly obsessed with Swarovski's latest collaboration effort. Creating quite the buzz in the fashion community, Swarovski has partnered with some of the world's most noted designers to create 22 Ways to Say Black. A collection of iconic black dresses created by the likes of 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jean Paul Gaultier, Gianfranco Ferre and Diane von Furstenberg using Swarvoski's black crystal. Pieces will be auctioned off on September 20th at the Philips de Pury auction house (but AZ fashion devotee's can bid via phone). Also available, a book featuring all the stunning photography with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. Now black is synonymous with another word: cure.[gallery order="DESC" columns="5"]
