COPERNI
The French brains behind last season’s viral spray-on-dress moment returned to the runway with another viral sensation: robo-dogs, who appeared mid-way through the show to act out a loose interpretation of Jean de la Fontaine’s fable, “The Wolf and The Lamb.” Alongside updated signatures—see: the cape-style blazer minis, asymmetric dresses, and multi-pocketed denim pants—find the aforementioned fable distilled into a toile-like, illustrated print (featuring a robo-dog in place of the wolf) or in a hand-painted version of an AI’s portrayal of the story. Novelty details hammer home the high-tech current—from metal renderings of the “OK” emoji to fluffy white fur-like textures made from nylon and metal feathers hand-embroidered onto a standout mini.
