Exhibitions and highlights

Kevin Germanier , Reluxury’s guest of honour

A contributor to the Centre Pompidou’s Traversing Appearances exhibition in 2024 and the costume designer for the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, Kevin Germanier continues on his dream- studded path to inspire and enchant us with this presentation of six models from his own collections (2022 to 2024), which he will showcase alongside accessories and furniture.

“Amidst a riotous cross-fading of pinks, blues and yellows, fusing the ethical and the imaginary, the opaque and the brilliant, from the ‘Venimeuses’ to the ‘Désastreuses’, his spring-summer 2025 collection, Germanier’s world unfurls like a 3D film, a fantastical laboratory helmed by a genius of colour and emotion that bursts out into the world in every hue of the rainbow” Laurence Benaïm

In Kevin Germanier’s hands, the circular economy becomes playful, an example of a bedazzling and kaleidoscopic approach to sustainability. His “aliens” celebrate light in our age of recycling guided by a talent that combines haute couture and experimentation, craftsmanship and the jubilant recycling of waste produced by our consumer society: sequins, pearls, feathers, jewellery and the like... “You often hear that everything has been done before. Personally, I’m not so sure about that. Whether it has or not, I’m forever on the lookout for new avenues for inspiration. To understand the world, you have to explore things. Culture and art are a constant source of learning and inform my political and social thinking, too,” explains Kevin Germanier.
