On November 4, Swarovski in Dubai staged a never-before-seen exhibition of couture gowns designed by the world’s best ateliers using Swarovski crystals. Each gown featured heavy embellishment and was made to celebrate Swarovski’s 120th Birthday.

If your invite to this exclusive event got lost in the mail, fear not; we’ve compiled the images of the most spectacular gowns. Our very own Steven Khalil even made an appearance!
