Oh, fashion. This world where trends change faster than you can blink, where one minute it’s oversized everything, and the next it’s “wait, never mind, we’re back to sleek and tailored.” And in this whirlwind? There are a few rare souls who somehow manage to capture something deeper—something timeless.

Layering
Autumn/Winter. That time of year when dressing becomes less about “looking cute” and more about surviving—but, you know, with some semblance of dignity. Layering, let’s be real, is an art. Not just any art, but one where you’re juggling warmth, style, and that intense inner monologue that screams, “Please don’t look like a marshmallow!” So here we go: a crash course in how to layer for winter without losing your sense of self under a mountain of wool and polyester.

White shirt ‘Again’
Ah, the white shirt—so deceptively simple, yet a mainstay of wardrobes from Milan to Tokyo, a garment that claims purity but is as laden with history and artifice as any Balenciaga runway show. It’s the great equalizer of fashion, effortlessly transitioning from the pressed perfection of Brooks Brothers to the disheveled charm of a Comme des Garçons deconstruction, all the while maintaining that aloof stance of something both crucial and utterly indifferent to the whims of trends. One might think of it as the Big Mac of garments—ubiquitous, reliable, but with the potential for gourmet refinement (even if, sometimes, it’s best enjoyed as is, ketchup dripping, no curation necessary).

Coperni Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:
Now *that* was a spectacle. We had naive innocence, angsty rebellion, villains, mermaids, princesses, lightning bolts, fireworks, rats, and even Kylie Jenner. For the brave, the afterparty included a chance to ride Hyperspace Mountain (which was *epic*). As I reluctantly left Disneyland Paris at the stroke of midnight, the techno beats still reverberated through the Magic Kingdom. Fashion Month always feels like stepping into an alternate reality, but this was a whole new level of surreal.
