For as long as we have dressed, clothing has mirrored the body, its protection, its posture, its poise. With Spring/Summer 2026, Coperni presents C+, a new line of care wear developed over several years in collaboration with scientists. Infused with a patented symbiotic blend of prebiotics and probiotics, the textiles are activated by body heat, friction, and touch, releasing microorganisms that help rebalance the skin’s microbiome and support its natural renewal. This way, they adapt to the body’s movement, responding to warmth and contact.

The collection includes a top, bodysuit, and leggings cut from four-way stretch technical jersey. Additionally, Tech Tailoring was introduced: a new approach to suiting designed to move in harmony with its wearer. Sleeves and trouser legs can be lengthened or shortened, allowing each piece to adapt to the body’s rhythm and proportion. Suspenders and elastic fastenings reappear to invite freedom of adjustment, while wide-legged trousers detailed with zippers add flexibility and play. Every garment is engineered for movement and comfort.

For accessories, Coperni’s Swipe bag was brought back as a series of gemstone amulets carved in quartz, tiger eye, and tourmaline. Each stone carries its own resonance. For instance, quartz for clarity and energy, tiger eye for strength and protection, and tourmaline for grounding and balance. Together, they turn the bag into a symbolic object that merges utility with spirituality.

Additionally, a new fungi-based leather, developed in collaboration with a South Korean laboratory, continues the brand’s pursuit of ethical innovation, presenting an alternative that is cultivated rather than extracted. Even footwear adapts to the aesthetic through a Pilates-inspired collaboration.

It is in this way that Coperni redefines innovation by centering the body not as an object of design but as a living system. The collection traces the anatomy beneath the surface, where science and emotion converge. For Coperni, technology is a language of connection, linking the body and fashion in an intimate metaphysical way. With Spring/Summer 2026, Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer envision a future of design that explores how science and aesthetics coexist.
