In the often shadowed and serious terrain of Fall/Winter collections, Kevin Germanier staged a radical act of joy. His FW25–26 Haute Couture collection, titled The Players, wasn’t just a fashion show—it was a chromatic revolution, a kaleidoscopic burst of rebellion set in the cavernous depths of IRCAM, Paris’s famed institute for experimental sound. It was underground in location, but sky-high in spirit.
For his first foray into haute couture, Kévin Germanier pushed the boundaries of his signature upcycling practice, blending vibrant embellishments, repurposed luxury pieces, and a meticulous approach to handcraft. Expanding beyond his ready-to-wear aesthetic, he introduced an elevated vision that embraced both menswear and womenswear while celebrating his global network of artisans.
