Ross Lovegrove has designed this year’s Fashion Awards trophy, which consists of a laser-cut DNA double helix that appears to be suspended inside a monolithic crystal.
The Welsh designer was commissioned by the British Fashion Council and Swarovski to create the award, which will be handed out during an awards ceremony in London’s Royal Albert Hall on 2 December.
To create the trophy, 18 different facets are cut into a single piece of crystal to create a towering trapezoid structure, measuring 24 centimetres in height.
The winding, double-helix structure is internally etched into this solid crystal using green-light laser technology.
