Coperni's SS26 Garments That Care
Tue 21 Oct
At Paris Fashion Week, Coperni presented C+ Carewear, a Spring Summer 2026 collection that reimagines the relationship between skin and fabric.
It’s wearing your skincare.

The line includes bodysuits, leggings, and tops woven with a patented synbiotic blend of probiotics and prebiotics, embedded in a biobased matrix that activates via body heat, friction, and movement to transfer beneficial microorganisms to the skin. “It’s wearing your skincare,” said Sébastien Meyer.
Yet the power of C+ doesn’t rest in spectacle but in sensitivity. The designer duo, known for their tech-driven aesthetics, sought something more human, a counterpoint to their own futurism. C+ Carewear marks that pivot: a study in wellness, emotion, and touch.
Across the runway, the idea of “garments that care” expanded into form and texture. Modular tailoring, membrane-lined jackets, fungi-based leather, and zip-structured hems traced the body with elegant precision. Pleated silks and Renaissance-inspired drapery softened activewear edges, while Pilates-inspired shoes, iPhone-pouch belts, and gemstone Swipe bags grounded the collection in ritual and practicality.
Coperni’s SS26 feels both intimate and futuristic, a living fantasy reimagining the role of garments, beyond aesthetics, presenting a collection that doesn’t just dress the body, it cares for it.
