'I believe beauty can save us', Susan Rockefeller says as Swarovski jewellery collection on panda ...

The name Rockefeller isn't normally associated with fashion, but this month accessory and jewellery brand Swarovski unveiled a collaboration with Susan Rockefeller, wife of businessman and philanthropist David Rockefeller Jnr.One could be mistaken for thinking that she was chosen because of her high-profile name or love for fashion, but the partnership, she says, was forged to benefit a much greater cause "I met Nadja Swarovski three years ago at a conference where we both spoke about sustainability and the environment Since then we've been exploring ways we can make an impact and she asked me to design a collection for Atelier Swarovski," says the award-winning documentary filmmaker, artist, and conservationist.

"I really believe that beauty can save us When we lead with it, things can transform - this doesn't happen when you intellectualise too much This collection is a reminder of nature and our need to protect it" A bracelet from Susan Rockefeller and Swarovski's collaboration.

Unlike other members of New York's society set, Rockefeller admits that she isn't much of a clotheshorse When we meet during her recent visit to Hong Kong she is wearing a simple, yet elegant blouse and trousers in understated black. . Source
