Made using 52,000 Swarovski Crystals, this piece truly was a labour of love for Baker, taking over 4 months to complete. The tigress was unveiled at our Thrive art exhibition in May 2014, and then went on to be exhibited at our Mango Tree dinner where guests were amazed by its intricacy. The tigress then toured Asia as part of 'Inspire' before being auctioned at the Majestic Tiger Ball in Kuala Lumpur on October the 3rd 2014.
The Crystal Tigress featured in an interview and shoot for Vogue Spain which saw Baker named ‘The Queen of Skulls’ (13 March 2014). Male models Ash Stymest, Billy Huxley and actress Jaime Winstone are the latest faces modelling Baker’s art.
