Nadja Swarovski is a Fashion model. She is Member of the Executive Board at Swarovski Crystal Business. Nadja’s career began at the Gagosian Gallery before she went on to work for Eleanor Lambert, the legendary New York fashion PR. Nadja began working for Swarovski Crystal Business in Hong Kong before developing the Creative Service Centre concept in New York followed by Paris, London and Singapore.

Since 2002, with her Swarovski Crystal Palace project, Nadja has commissioned designers including Zaha Hadid, Ron Arad, Yves Behar and Tord Boontje to create cutting-edge designs, initially reinterpreting crystal chandeliers. The project has evolved to commission artistic installations that use Swarovski material and recent commissions include Iris by Fredrikson Stallard (Design Miami/Basel 2011) and St Paul’s Perspectives, an installation unveiled during the London Design Festival 2011 which was created by minimalist architect John Pawson. It used a precision-made Swarovski Optik lens and a suspended spherical steel mirror to reflect a new vision of the Geometric Staircase of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Nadja has overseen Swarovski’s collaborations with fashion designers including Alexander McQueen, Philip Treacy, Hussein Chalayan, Erdem and Giles Deacon, supporting emerging and established design talent with the Swarovski Collective initiative. Under Nadja's direction, the Swarovski Scholarship supports design students. Nadja is Chairwoman and Executive Producer of Swarovski Entertainment which was established in 2010 to continue the company's collaboration with the film industry.
