Dubai, September 27, 2015 - Margaret Zhang shares her stunning take on Swarovski's FW15 Collection. The international icon flew to Dubai to shoot the collection through her eyes, and she posed for the camera too! Styled with Margaret's iconic vision and her personal fashion layering style, the looks draw together different textures and colors for an exclusive and unique interpretation of the collection. Un-seen fashion jewelry statements were revealed, with a watch used as a choker necklace, watch layerings and bejeweling of clothes. Margaret herself explains: “I’m the first to admit that my fiendishly layered personal style is probably more conducive to the cooler months. For those who don’t know me well, think shirts under dresses under sweaters under man coats, repurposing skirts as tops, shirts as skirts, jackets as belts, inside out, back to front. The most important thing about making the most of your wardrobe is experimenting with the silhouettes you can create, and accenting those with smaller accessories that catch light to offset your wearable sculpture. But, as an Australian, I make a habit of chasing Summer around the world. Dubai has always been on my checklist, so it was exciting to be able to see Dubai through a Swarovski lens, shooting this layered editorial after running a styling session for their teams discussing just that. A common misconception about dressing for the heat is that, all of a sudden, we can’t wear more than one garment at a time. Of course, you wouldn’t want to be hauling yourself through the desert in overcoats and leather, but pairing light basics with structured pieces over the top, breezy trousers and midi-skirts can make for some very high level and accessible day-to-night and office-to-occasion looks that push the boundaries a little. All you need to change to transform the look is switching up the degree of sparkle in your jewellery, and maybe try something unconventional like a watch as a choker, or a necklace as a belt.”
