Kevin Germanier, the young Swiss designer behind the eponymous brand, put on a spectacular and memorable show at Paris Fashion Week. The spring-summer 2023 runway show brought together all the essence of the label: sequins, beads, feathers, silicone and upcycling.

Playing with shapes and techniques (and literally with old children’s toys), Germanier explores his use of beads, and offers feathers made this season from recycled sequins.

Some of the dresses – “crochet style” are the result of a collaboration with Gustavo Silvestre, a Brazilian designer who works with prisoners in Rio.
