Coperni’s pre-spring pictures look like a smartphone home screen, with the famously changeable Paris temperature and weather forecast superimposed on each of the 22 looks. Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Valliant made that creative decision to drive home the wearability of these clothes. They’re designed with their end use in mind: the street, not the runway, a point that the see-now, buy-now release of these images reinforces.
The biggest point of difference between Coperni’s most recent runway and this offering are the T-shirts, which merge the label’s curvy C monogram and the planets in the solar system in a clever take on the omnipresent logo tee. There’s also denim—note the sexy cutouts at the shoulders of the fitted jean jacket. Sexy is the defining characteristic of the collection, somewhat more so than in their previous pre-season outings. Meyer and Valliant see sexy through a 1960s-by-way-of-the-2020s lens, a combination that’s resonating broadly across fashion. The skirts are mini, the platforms are towering, and the blazers always top a hoodie.
