Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant innovate once more with their futuristic collection presented during Paris Fashion Week AW24/25.

Having a show on the outskirt of Paris, on a Monday night was by far a brilliant idea and the best way to create a calm atmosphere during Paris Fashion Week.

That night on Monday March 4th, at the studio 217 in Aubervilliers, 15 minutes away from Paris, Sebastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant had set the spacial tone of their show and AW 24/25 collection.

The crowd of fans and photographers were decent and polite; celebrities, guests, press and buyers walked a line checked by the PR from Lucien Pages communication team, just before reaching a dark and large hangar.

Thirsty guests could enjoy a cockail made by the champagne brand Landon before getting to their seats. This season, the runway is a massive square space with a large diamond shape in the middle reminiscence of the spacial white light coming out of an alien spacecraft during an invasion that we have often seen in movies.

Around this shape, celebrities, and VIP guests – Angèle, Nesrine Slaoui, Edem Dossou, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Ari fournier, Cole Sprouse, Constance Jablonski, Mica Argañaraz – posing for front row photographers, while Loic Prigent filming the mood with selected guests.

PR people circle around as everyone is rejoining his seat, while the line of the podium photographers is being told to step back by a member of the show production “Photographers don’t complain, look all the space you have”. “For once” replied one of them.
The late comers sneak in as the light turns off and the show can start.

The diamond white square turns on with color squares with the electronic music. The futuristic tone is set and Coperni is taking us to space or letting aliens come down.

Models walk in.

After the spray painted dress, the robots, the AI Pin, the Swipe CD player bag, the item everyone is waiting shows up : the Air Swipe Bag – made of 99% of air and 1% of glass. And for this PFW AW 24 collection. Leon Dame, a male model has the honor to carring it.

The last two long and slender dresses surrounded with a fake fur ring close the show with an furturistic opera reference to the white and black swan. The two designers greet the crowd in the top side of the diamond shape – making the line of photographers misse a picture.

Show’s over. People rush to the subway station or backstage where Sebastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant are bursting out of joy with their team. Another show, another technological immersion into fashion where Coperni is taking the audience to space.

The two designers explain their mood board, where some pieces were posted on Instagram a few weeks ago setting the futuristic venue with “Gattaca” movie poster.

Passionate persons can be recognised by the way they talk; Sebastien and Arnaud are definitely inhabited by it. While sharing their inspirations behind the mood board for their collection, no one could stop them, espacially not journalists eager to learn and listen them speaking.

Angèle walks in to congratulate the designers, other guests follow the same routine. Others drink champagne, people network, models a preparing for their next show while. Hair dressers and make up artists are cleaning their material backstage.

The mood is joyful for this unexpected Coperni adventure, with two designers always willing to have a eye and a vision towards the future.
