Coperni and their innovation in DIY Fashion

Coperni, the popular French womenswear brand based in Paris, was created by Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant. The brand is well-known for DIY fashion as they have previously created a hand-blown glass bag that Doja Cat sported on the red carpet.

Bella Hadid's dress for Paris Fashion Week 2022, which became the talk of the town online, was spray-painted by Dr. Manel Torres, the inventor of Fabrican.

Along with him, another spray painter displayed his art. The spray paint is in fact a fibrous thin material made from latex that eventually builds up to look like usual fabric.
