Maison Germanier

The aim is not to offer visit­ors a retro­spect­ive of the designer, who has just turned 30, but a current over­view of the concerns that run through his work. By trans­form­ing salvaged mater­i­als, such as unused fabrics and discarded beads, he shows that sustain­ab­il­ity and eleg­ance can coex­ist. At a time when the fash­ion industry is often criti­cised for its ecolo­gical impact, Germanier proves that altern­at­ive systems of produc­tion such as upcyc­ling can help rein­vent our rela­tion­ship with consump­tion. In addi­tion to his creations, Germanier also acts as a cultural ambas­sador for Switzer­land, help­ing to high­light his coun­try’s innov­a­tion in fash­ion. This exhib­i­tion is an oppor­tun­ity to spot­light Switzer­land’s grow­ing place on the inter­na­tional creat­ive scene and to encour­age a new gener­a­tion of design­ers to adopt innov­at­ive and respons­ible approaches.

The immers­ive and educa­tional exhib­i­tion will enable visit­ors to discover iconic Germanier pieces, inter­act­ive present­a­tions on his creat­ive process, and lectures on the future of sustain­able fash­ion, provid­ing an inspir­ing, thought­ful, and enga­ging exper­i­ence. By paying trib­ute to Kévin Germanier, this carte blanche will actively contrib­ute to a more respons­ible fash­ion industry, show­cas­ing Swiss innov­a­tion on the inter­na­tional stage, while convey­ing a message of hope and change.
