Fashion designs for men and women created by 10 graduates of the Geneva University of Art and Design / Haute école d’Art et de Design Genève will be showcased in the exhibition “Swiss Style,” running from September 16 to October 14. The collection reflects diverse design talent, with items ranging from gowns to casual wear, footwear and jewelry. These inventions play with unique materials, illustrating techniques that mix know how and new technologies. Many of the pieces were created for big name designers including the Martin Grant fashion house in Paris and the Brazilian shoe brand, Melissa. Outfits worn by the Swiss Pavilion guides of the World Expo Shanghai will also be on display. A projection will show the latest runway show of the Geneva University of Art and Design, as well as varied student design creations.
Opening reception: September 16, 6-8 p.m.
The opening reception on September 16 will be attended by Charles Beer, Head of the Geneva Department of Education, Culture and Sport. Complementary wine from Geneva will be served. This event is free and open to the public.
