From Moodboard to Runway

In the lead-up to their SS24 collection, the design duo behind Coperni, Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, were captivated by the convergence of nostalgia, music, and technology. A recurring motif in their sketches was a model sporting a 70s-inspired leather jacket with a unique twist: two speakers prominently displayed on the front. As it turned out, images of Transparent Speakers had already sparked their imagination on the collection's moodboard. When mutual friend Sarah Andelman, renowned for her discerning eye for fashion, paid a visit to their Paris showroom, the idea to bring this audio-fashion fusion to life began to take shape. The challenge was set: could Transparent create a bespoke speaker system to be seamlessly integrated into Coperni's runway showpiece? With Paris Fashion Week a mere two months away, the timeline was remarkably tight. Yet, Transparent, with their agile and modular approach to custom projects, embraced the challenge.
