There is one thing exquisitely Parisian, within the modernist/futurist sense of the time period, about Coperni: Fast strains come throughout as a nice stability of dryness and bourgeois stylish; they demand a lean physique, a powerful character, and no make-up. The assortment, to date offered solely at Opening Ceremony, is small and centered. Spring ’15 included such staples because the minidress, the A-line skirt, skinny trousers, blousons, shirts, and tops. Surface ornament was restricted to rhythmic inlays, repetitive slashes, and graphic indicators. That’s it. Futurism is clearly excessive on Meyer and Vaillant’s agenda, and so is salability: They are designer and monetary director, respectively. Their work has character. A pale blue shirt with additional-lengthy sleeves knotted and twisted across the wrists confirmed it additionally has the capability to be a bit extra daring.
