COPERNI SS24 at Paris Fashion Week

COPERNI SS24 / Spring Summer 2024 at Paris Fashion Week presents Forms of Attunement.

Each season Coperni start anew, in a search for new ways to communicate — between us, with friends, and with others beyond our circle. Coperni begins as a conversation between two, echoing outward, in a dialogue connecting clothes, design and our world. It becomes a shared exploration of strange tools and instruments that allow us to express ancient ideas in new forms.

When words fail, we retreat into silence, to listen to our more quiet thoughts, signs and sounds. We start anew, try again, and share our discoveries to connect with others — in attunement.

For COPERNI Spring Summer 2024 explore the elusive realm of sound. Sounds yield to sensory pleasure, to the beauty of music, untethered from words.

The clothes are designed to be worn lightly — as light as music and air — within the rhythm of cities: to walk in meditation on crowded streets, to seduce, to undress in the dark, to dance underground, to embody emotions.

Clothes as instruments of expression, as fragments of now.

The COPERNI SS24 collection is presented within an acoustic chamber at IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music), a legendary institution of radical experimentation in sound.

A musical composition by friend and musician u.r.trax becomes the central character of the collection, an immersive sonic landscape within which to “hear” the spirit of the clothes. This symphonic composition, “Forms of Attunement”, was created during a 6-month residency at IRCAM, and uses at its heart, recordings of elements and materials within the collection: the hush of organza and crackle of sequins embroidery, the metallic sounds of zips and talons, newly transformed.

Woven through the collection are erstwhile technologies and new materials, presented as an ode to attunement, the fine balance between the familiar and unfamiliar, in a desire to communicate. Triangles dance alongside “Cymatic” patterns vibrating as prints and 3-D formed brooches; the sighs of fine silks play against a sculptured leather jacket studded with speakers.

A beloved Discman appears anew, in silent conversation with newly-developed AI pins from Humane and 90SQR innovative Puma sneakers.

Instruments of sound and technology combine as a sartorial symphony: a collection alive with sound.
