Discover COPERNI Fall Winter 2022.23 Collection, that pays homage to the youth of today, presented on March 3rd, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. The collection explores purity, playfulness and darkness that comes with being young. It takes us down the memory lane, back to the school hallways – a place where teenagers grow, constantly doubting themselves, and search for their personal style. The brand explores school uniform codes to capture the adolescent age, and captures the rebellious spirit of the youth with more provocative clothes. The collection also express femininity, and the duality between innocence as a child and sensuality as a woman.
FALL WINTER 2022.23 COLLECTIONS
“First come the school matrons in tailored blazers with a cape that transforms into a head cover complemented by knit bodysuits, then comes disobedience: the students have altered their uniforms to express their own creativity by cropping tops and wearing little dresses made with up cycled ties, suggesting how to use one of the most dreaded pieces of the school uniform. The low jeans “urban” uniform, also gets a fun facelift with trousers whose waist is so low that it is actually attached to jersey at the knee, signaling a literal fall from glory. Teen feelings are often expressed in literal graphic ways; the moments of joy, fear, or frustration, printed on spandex, on tops, dresses, bags and shoes, transform these pieces in wearable manifestos, walking journals of sort.
Who could forget those walks up and down the school hallways, where, in our teen years, we were either hiding our shames with our heads in our locker, or peacocking our vanities in fluorescent yellow up-cycled Adidas Gazelle, flocked with a velvety finish, and in stilettos or loafers, whose shape was inspired by vector graphics, complete with the Coperni logo on its front, a reference to the car design that inspired the shoes.Up and down the lockers lined halls walk the models, like hip students holding Swipe bags made with blown glass, a collaboration with Heven, the luxe hand-blown glass brand for an unapologetic take on design.The classic prom dresses of yore also make an appearance in flower motifs embellishing gowns, sweet in shape and color, yet fierce in fabric: latex.” – from Coperni
