Coperni is a Parisian ready-to-wear and accessories brand designed by Sébastien Meyer & Arnaud Vaillant, established in 2013.

An explorative and pragmatic design approach informs their creations, for rigorous and Modernist garments born of intensive textile experimentation. The name Coperni invokes the life work of Prussian astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, whose mathematical and astronomical research into Heliocentrism inspires the designers’ visual world, where his sense of rebellion is married with the pared-back romance of the mid- century French ‘nouvelle vague’.

Translating the evolving technology and precision of new textiles into nonchalant shapes, Coperni offers a youthful attitude executed with artisanal fervour and Parisian flair. Experience in the studios of Balenciaga and Chanel infuses a thorough knowledge of embroidery techniques through their work, streamlined with a linear sensibility that marries exhaustive origami-like technique with a neat, ‘sportif’ silhouette. Always renewing itself, Coperni is now pioneering an innovative feminine and sexy silhouette answering a common need for fun and lightness.
