Karl Lagerfeld\u2019s first collection for Swarovski has made its debut at Baselworld this week – the designer has created a three-tier collection of fashion jewellery in partnership with the Austrian firm.<\/p>\n

Karl Lagerfeld will lift the curtain on his fashion jewellery tie-up with Swarovski this week. It will be shown at the Baselworld fair, which begins Thursday and runs through March 30. The collection \u2014 set to launch in stores for fall \u2014 has been split into three visual groups, reports WWD.<\/p>\n

The Ikonic line boasts an edgier, rock-influenced aesthetic. It will include a charm \u201cprogram,\u201d ear jackets, asymmetrical necklaces and pendants. The Klassic Karl range uses Lagerfeld\u2019s signature as a design feature and also includes odes to his famous pet feline, Choupette. The Essentials line includes more classic designs with crystalized chains and celestial pieces.<\/p>\n

The tie-up will go on sale in September at Swarovski Crystal Worlds retail locations, Karl Lagerfeld stores, karl.com<\/a> and select retailers.<\/p>\n

Prices will range from 50 euros, or about $54 at current exchange, to 250 euros, or about $270.<\/p>\n

The brand will offer two main collections per year, featuring necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.<\/p>\n

In January, Pier Paolo Righi, chief executive officer of Karl Lagerfeld, said the tie-up was a logical fit for the brand, which has produced watches under license with Fossil Group since 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cKarl is the man of accessorization and jewellery, it was therefore the next natural step for us to expand our product range with a fashion jewellery collection. Swarovski, with their significant expertise, makes the perfect partner for us and we look forward to launching the first collection this fall,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel honoured to be partnering with an iconic fashion house such as Karl Lagerfeld,\u201d Markus Langes-Swarovski, a member of Swarovski\u2019s executive board, said earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cReflective of the creative vision of Karl Lagerfeld, the collection was developed with cutting-edge design elements and superior quality, which perfectly complement the existing categories. We look forward to maximising our licensing partnership together,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Lagerfeld tie-up \u2014 a multiyear licensing contract \u2014 is a new facet in Swarovski\u2019s plan to elevate its fashion quotient. Last May, the firm hired Karlie Kloss as its face \u2014 with plans to chart double-digit growth in North America, stemming from sales in fashion-forward cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig cities offer much more potential for market penetration,\u201d Swarovski CEO for consumer goods Robert Buchbauer said at the time. \u201cIn the next few years we want to concentrate on our fashion sense in the five or six biggest cities in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are trying to put a lot of emphasis on the designs and are also working on our language internally and externally \u2014 we are going to work with Jean Paul Gaultier and focus our efforts [on style].\u201d In February 2016, it was revealed that Gaultier had designed a stone called \u201cKaputt\u201d for the brand.<\/p>\n
