Kévin Germanier’s exhibition “Les Monstrueuses” opens its doors at the mudac
by Adriano Batista
The mudac museum in Lausanne has given Swiss designer Kévin Germanier a carte blanche for an exhibition titled “Les Monstrueuses.”
Germanier, a graduate of Central Saint Martins, is known for a style that merges high fashion with sustainability. He uses forgotten beads, discarded fabrics, and repurposed textiles to create pieces that are both elegant and optimistic about the future. His collaborations with pop icons like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé have brought him global attention.
The exhibition is not a retrospective but a look at the current concerns in his work. It highlights his philosophy of reuse, showcasing pieces made from dormant stock and unique materials. Some dresses feature knitted pieces made by craftswomen from his native Valais, as well as by artisans worldwide, emphasizing both local and international collaboration.
A recreated workshop in the museum acts as a dynamic laboratory. Here, visitors can see the experimental process behind his creations. At the heart of the exhibition is a textile chimera, a large piece made from surplus beads, recycled fibers, and unsold fabrics, allowing visitors to engage directly with the textures of his work.
Germanier’s approach also has a social dimension. Some collaborations are linked to initiatives that promote social reintegration through textile work, showing fashion’s potential as a tool for inclusion. The exhibition challenges preconceptions about production, suggesting that responsible, artisanal manufacturing can flourish globally when every stage is carefully monitored.
