Coperni Resort 2025 Collection | Vogue

For refuge, Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer from Coperni were in an American state of mind. “I wanted to pay tribute to a place I love, which is Silicon Valley,” Meyer explained in a makeshift showroom in Manhattan, where the pair briefly left their camp to show off their latest collection. It is a very specific, very fitting choice for the couple who have made their interest in technology a common thread through all their collections.

It’s not the first time they’ve conjured up a young woman working in the sciences, but while they more conceptually explored the wardrobe of a scientist working at CERN in Switzerland before the fall, their take on a young woman in California along an undeniable west coast convenience. To start with, there was a print, a flower that wasn’t actually a flower at all, but apples. “Because in Silicon Valley there are a lot of fields, but you know AppleMeyer said playfully of the technicolor print that appeared on a jacquard cardigan and boys’ short twinsets, breezy wrap dresses and a button-up shirt over a simple white T-shirt and tucked into ’70s patch-pocket jeans. “There’s also some of the flower power hippie thing from San Francisco,” Meyer added.

Other denim styles were playfully asymmetrical, such as the denim jacket and trousers with only one sleeve or one leg respectively – ready to be worn by some cool It girls on the red carpet – or a maxi denim skirt, the wavy line created by the zoom was sensual and playful, a no-brainer purchase. Preppy striped polo shirts and dresses provided a nice contrast to the apple print pieces. “We wanted something more ‘university’ because of Stanford,” Meyer said.

Elsewhere, designers made use of simple ‘tech guy’ influences. They’ve been toying with turning outerwear into bodysuits for a few seasons now, and it was fun to see the ever-present “performance vest” get the Coperni treatment (although a blue, weatherproof bodysuit for a hiking jacket was the best interpretation this season) . The cursed ‘toe sneakers’ got a chic makeover in the form of sleek Mary Janes in white leather or black with crystal embellishments that take the no-shoe ensemble to the next level.

A mixed gray sweatshirt with text STAY FOOL STAY HUNGRY in contrasting yellow bubble letters. It comes from the Catalog of the entire Earth, a cult magazine/catalog from the late ’60s that focused on a DIY, environmentally conscious, countercultural lifestyle. It was popularized by Steve Jobs, who quoted it when he gave the commencement address at Stanford in 2005. An encouragement to remain curious about the world, to not be complacent with the things that are taken for granted, is something that Meyer and Vaillant can certainly relate to.
