Baccarat X Hello Kitty X Orsay Museum 

During the fourth edition of Entrez en Matières, organized by the Comité Colbert as part of the European Artistic Crafts Days, the public had the opportunity to discover the talent of artisans from prestigious partner houses. Held at the Musée d’Orsay, this event showcased the richness of artistic craftsmanship and the vitality of the next generation in training. 

For this new edition of “Entrez en Matières”, Baccarat takes you backstage to discover the making of the Hello Kitty crystal sculpture, dressed by Germanier. 

Hello Kitty, heroine of Kawaii culture, becomes the face of Parisian fashion! To celebrate Hello Kitty’s fiftieth birthday, Baccarat presents a dazzling 30 cm-high crystal sculpture, crafted by the masterful hands of the Maison’s artisans, and dressed by couturier Kévin Germanier.  

Pop culture fan and avid toy art collector, Kévin Germanier has created four haute couture pieces - two headdresses and two dresses - to play with Hello Kitty’s look and transform it to your whim. Renowned for his innovative work fusing glamour and upcycling, the designer drew inspiration from the four elements of nature - air, earth, water and fire – at the origin of each Baccarat creation. A play of textures and a clash of colors make the crystal sparkle, with pieces composed of pearls and sequins 100% reclaimed and entirely hand embroidered in Germanier’s Paris atelier. Each outfit, a reflection of flamboyant fashion, captures Baccarat’s joie de vivre and the good humor of Hello Kitty.
