Stuart Weitzman and Swarovski’s platform for collaborations, Swarovski Creators Lab, have joined forces to develop a glittering party shoe just in time for the holiday season.
The limited-edition Stuart Power Shine pump sees the brand’s new 2.95-inch heels decked with over 6,000 tonal Swarovski pavé crystals.
Dropping on Monday, the design is available in two metallic shades exclusive to Swarovski, including one encrusted with silver-toned clear crystals and the other with golden light topaz. These add to three other colorways, comprising rose pink, peridot green and ice blue.
Priced at 850 euros ($884 at current exchange), the Stuart Weitzman for Swarovski Creators Lab pumps are available in select Swarovski and Stuart Weitzman stores globally and at both brands e-commerce sites.
Launched in 2021, Swarovski’s platform already counts a long roster of partnerships, as previous tie-ups resulted in special Amina Muaddi and Aquazzura sandals, Judith Leiber handbags, Nike Women’s Air Force 1 LXX sneakers, a FAO Schwarz nutcracker statuette and a crystallized basketball developed with streetwear brand Market. In 2022, Swarovski Creators Lab embarked on its first ready-to-wear collaboration with Advisory Board Crystals and teamed with high-end sneaker brand Golden Goose for a sparkly version of the signature Super-Star style and a special skateboard.

Last year, it joined forces with Puma for the German sportswear brand’s 75th anniversary and with the Dover Street Market Paris Brand Development hub for a trifecta of collaborations with emerging fashion brands, partnering with Weinsanto, Liberal Youth Ministry and Phileo to develop exclusive styles of bag, apparel and footwear.
Swarovski Crystal Business has a global reach with about 2,300 stores and multibrand partners in more than 140 countries and employs 16,600 people. Together with its sister companies Swarovski Optik (optical devices) and Tyrolit (abrasives), it forms the Swarovski Group.
