Coperni Pre-Fall 2022 Collection – Vogue
Thu 16 Jun
If this Coperni pre-fall collection looks familiar, that’s because some pieces strode down the Paris runway at their fall show, and others have already made their celebrity debuts. Rihanna, whose pregnancy style was much parsed on this website, modeled the upper half of the stretch jersey cut-out dress in look 15.
The red carpet credits started accumulating for Coperni when Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant took a sexier tack. Since celebrity sightings beget eager shoppers, we should expect more in this vein from them. But their talents for tailoring shouldn’t be overlooked and here’s hoping they don’t neglect them amidst commercial pressures for ever-more cut-outs.
The twist-front jackets are mini marvels of construction, intricate but cool, not conceptual. Leggings with belted-on flared gaiters above the knee are also novel. It’s hard to reinvent pants, but these qualify as a very playful rethink. No surprise to hear that they’re among their top sellers this season.
