In this way, fashion photography becomes a mirror of social change \u2013 and a showcase for the Swiss textile industry, the products of which have been a standard feature of international fashion events for many years.<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mise en Sc\u00e8ne<\/em> brings together works by renowned photographers and studios such as S\u00e9eberger Fr\u00e8res, Atelier d\u2019Ora Benda, Helmut Newton, Peter Knapp, Jeanloup Sieff and Iwan Baan. Along with textiles and fashion from Forster Rohner, Jakob Schlaepfer, Akris and other Swiss companies, the exhibition establishes a fascinating dialogue between international photographic art and the textile tradition typical of Eastern Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>Another side of the fashion industry is highlighted in the series \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/en\/schweizer-firma\/\">Portrait of a Swiss Company<\/a>\u2019, which can be seen at the same time in the lounge of the Textile Museum: in 1972, Barbara Davatz created impressive portraits of workers at the textile company Walser AG in Herisau.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/SGKB_Logo_black.png-280x54.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/SGKB_Logo_black.png-280x54.png 280w, https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/SGKB_Logo_black.png-150x29.png 150w, https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/SGKB_Logo_black.png.png 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/Bareva_Logo_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"76\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/Bareva_Logo_web.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/10\/Bareva_Logo_web-150x63.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LogoAmmannTDAF_Web_OhneRAnd2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LogoAmmannTDAF_Web_OhneRAnd2.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.textilmuseum.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LogoAmmannTDAF_Web_OhneRAnd2-150x57.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bertold-Suhner-Stiftung<\/p>\n<p>E.
