Coperni closed the last Sunday evening of PFW with a show that paid homage to the so-called golden age of the internet: an era most of us either barely remember or never truly experienced. Dubbed LAN (short for Local Area Network), the Parisian-brand set out to reignite “the thrill of the long-forgotten early online era — a time of discovery and human connection”. Celebrating the level of humanness that can sometimes prevail within the world of tech, the showcase blurred the lines between digital and physical, fashion and gaming, nostalgia and innovation.
Read on for all our yay moments from Coperni’s FW25 show.

The Venue: Hosted at the freshly-inaugurated Adidas Arena in Paris, the show had the spacious setup fashion week dreams are made of (for guests like us at least). Unlike the usual ultra-chic but suffocating Parisian venues — where you’re basically playing Tetris with your seat — the arena allowed for a packed crowd to settle in without having to elbow their way through for that perfect IG story shot. A perfect match for a show of this scale, Corperni proved that fashion and breathing room can actually coexist. *staring at whoever decides which venue fashion week shows usually take place at*
The Catering: Coperni had our dinner plans sorted at their last show (thank God), with hot dogs for mains, and pop-corn for desert. We skipped the hot dog stands (scroll down to see why), but the popcorn was were it was at for us — sweet of course, as salted popcorn shouldn’t be a thing (and by the looks of it, Coperni agrees with us as that was the only option they had available x)
The cargo-tights: Had no idea this was even a thing until we saw them — and now we can’t stop thinking about them. Women’s trouser pockets are a joke, so who wouldn’t want an extra pouch by the leg? Lowkey genius, though we’re just sitting here wondering how many more pockets could’ve fit. Also, someone tell the Coperni team that they need to patent that stuff ASAP!

Shy gamers and glam influencers became BFFs (kind of): 200 gamers, sat in rolling chairs, cozied up with celebs and guests, bringing early internet culture to the forefront of high-fashion. Was it unexpected? Yes. Was is it cool? Also yes. Looking almost as if they were pitted against each-other to create some sort of clash — in style, energy, and the whole shebang — each one of them played their part as they were asked: gamers were glued to Fortnite or Rocket League, while influencers gawked, through their phones, desperately trying to capture what Coperni had up its sleeve this season. The contrast was real, and it worked.
Bumping into Georgina Rodriguez: As she was probably wandering what she was doing surrounded by so many geeks just as much as we were when she could’ve been lounging by a rooftop pool in Riyadh. Jokes!
The puffer-style sleeping-bag dresses: Because you’re hot and you’re cold, you’re yes and you’re no… okay, enough with the jokes. But seriously, the concept is spot on for Dubai weather. It’s that perfect in-between where it’s too warm for a hoodie but still chilly enough that you can’t leave it at home.
