Get ready for a fashion show fit for a princess — with a twist! Parisian fashion house Coperni is shaking things up this Paris Fashion Week by bringing their Spring/Summer 2025 collection to a venue unlike any other: Disneyland Paris. Mark your calendars for October 1, because this is one runway show you won’t want to miss.
Coperni, known for its innovative designs and avant-garde approach, has always pushed boundaries. This upcoming show promises to be no different. The theme? Modern femininity, reimagined through the fantastical lens of Disney fairytales.
We’re imagining classic silhouettes with a Coperni edge, such as flowing ball gowns with unexpected fabric manipulations or tailored pantsuits infused with a touch of whimsy. The collection is rumored to be inspired by the heroines of Disney lore, those who defied expectations and carved their own paths — think Princess Tiana’s resilience, Moana’s adventurous spirit, or Mulan’s bravery, all reinterpreted for the modern woman.
The choice of Disneyland Paris as the venue adds another layer of magic to the event. The park, often associated with childhood dreams, becomes the backdrop for a celebration of female empowerment. It’s a clever juxtaposition — the happily-ever-after narratives of fairytales intertwined with the independent spirit of modern femininity.
“Growing up in the south of France, Disneyland Paris has always been a dream destination and a huge source of inspiration. From the movies to the characters, the rides but also the resort hotels, Disneyland Paris is all about entertainment and emotion. We are working closely with the Disney teams to create a magical moment to share with all of you,” Sébastien Meyer (Creative Director & Co-Founder) and Arnaud Vaillant (CEO & Co-Founder) shared to Coperni’s Instagram.
This isn’t the first time the fashion world has embraced the world of Disney. From inspirations and collaborations with designers like Rodarte to capsule collections featuring beloved characters, the connection between fantasy and fashion is undeniable. But Coperni’s approach for PFW SS25 feels fresh. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about using the themes and characters of Disney to explore a modern concept with the multifaceted nature of femininity today.
So, what can fashion fans expect on October 1? The rumor mill is swirling with possibilities. Will the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle serve as the runway? Will there be special appearances by some of our favorite Disney characters? Coperni is staying tight-lipped, but one thing’s for sure: this is a show that promises to be equal parts fashion spectacle and cultural commentary, with a healthy dose of Coperni’s signature avant-garde twist.
After all, who says fairytales can’t be empowering? In the world of Coperni, they absolutely can.
