The Coperni Spring-Summer 2026 collection introduces a new way of dressing where technology meets well-being. Designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant have long embraced innovation, but this season, they turned their focus toward garments that comfort the body as much as they captivate the eye.
Their concept, called “carewear,” marks the debut of C+, a subline developed with the Swiss company HeiQ after years of research. The pieces, including a bodysuit, top, and leggings, feature fabric infused with prebiotics and probiotics. “It’s wearing your skincare,” Meyer explained before the show. This approach extends Coperni’s technological flair into a restorative, personalized experience.
The show’s atmosphere echoed that sense of renewal. Guests sat in a healing circle surrounded by light designed for circadian therapy. As models appeared, Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work” played, offering a subtle nod to emotional uplift. The collection balanced precision with calm; futuristic tailoring was softened by tactile ease. Jackets and trousers featured quick-release membranes for on-the-go adjustments, and swimsuits came in matcha green and watermelon red shades.

Function met comfort throughout. Belted accessories freed the hands for a digital lifestyle, including phone pouches, AirPod holders, and Coperni’s signature metal lanyards adorned with AirTags and crystals. Some models carried lightweight fabric mats that could be twisted into halter tops and transformed again if needed. The designers even created Pilates-inspired Barreletics shoes that hugged the foot like a second skin.
Details revealed the house’s commitment to material experimentation. Vegan mushroom leather replaced traditional hides, and pleated and quilted pieces drew inspiration from Renaissance anatomical drawings, recalling the body’s inner structures. Feminine dresses appeared alongside masculine aviator jackets that slipped off one shoulder, suggesting ease and quiet confidence rather than theatrical display.
The accessories reinforced Coperni’s now-iconic aesthetic. The Swipe bag, already a cult object, appeared in quartz, tiger eye, and green tourmaline — each crystal linked to calmness, energy, or protection. Weighing up to 3.5 kilograms, the bags made luxury feel tangible and grounding.
Meyer described the challenge as finding softness within science, while Vaillant called the result “spiritual tech.” The Coperni Spring-Summer 2026 collection doesn’t preach wellness as a lifestyle; it embodies it through design. The clothes are meant not only to adorn, but also to care for the wearer – garments that respond to their life rather than demand attention.
