Once again, Coperni has proven that fashion and technology can seamlessly merge into a captivating spectacle. For their FW25 show, titled “LAN Party,” designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant blurred the lines between high fashion and the gaming world. Instead of a traditional runway, the audience witnessed a dynamic battleground—over 200 professional gamers competed live, immersed in their digital realms, as models wove through them, showcasing futuristic, powerful womenswear.
Coperni has a history of embracing technology in fashion—who could forget Bella Hadid’s spray-on dress in 2022? This time, the brand transported us into the world of esports, where fashion became an organic part of a high-tech reality. Models strutted between rows of gaming stations, surrounded by screens, glowing keyboards, and flickering LED lights, while players, fully engaged in their matches, added an immersive cybernetic atmosphere to the show.
The color palette? Black, silver, and neon accents—straight out of a cyberpunk fantasy. Long geometric coats, oversized blazers, and asymmetrical dresses merged elegance with a high-tech, urban edge. Accessories also leaned into the theme, featuring VR-inspired eyewear, avant-garde platform shoes, and sculptural bags that looked like they could double as futuristic gaming gear.
While the theme revolved around gaming culture, the FW25 collection itself remained fierce, structured, and undeniably modern. The silhouettes emphasized strength, with sharp shoulders, structured tailoring, and futuristic detailing shaping the aesthetic of a confident, powerful woman.
The FW25 show reinforced Coperni’s ability to push boundaries and redefine fashion experiences. In an era where esports are booming and virtual reality is becoming an everyday part of life, Meyer and Vaillant captured the essence of this cultural shift, crafting something far beyond a runway presentation—an immersive performance at the intersection of fashion, technology, and gaming.
Is this the future of fashion week? Judging by the overwhelmingly positive response to “LAN Party,” interactive runway shows might not just be a fleeting trend but the dawn of a new era in fashion storytelling.
